I wasn't in a place to enjoy the slow reading to appreciate the prose and references.
This book belongs in the circle for deceivers, because the first 15 cantos tricked me into thinking this would be amazing. Dante really drops the ball in the second half. Be better.
It will forever puzzle me that Cassius and Brutus are put in the innermost circle alongside Judas, seemingly elevating Caesar above the Christ.
i like that dante just put everyone he didnt like in hell and then ended up persevering the memory of their wicked deeds for 700+ years
