INFERNO

So i went to look at comments for my blog and saw my last didnt post so im going to combine it with this one as well...
Now the journey goes towards the First Ring of the Seventh Circle of Hell. The two men are taken through a ravine of broken rock. While going through the ring, Dante and VIrgil see a river of blood where the sinners who were violent against their neighbors remain. A group of Centaurs stood around the river ready to shoot with bows and arrows. They shoot at any soul that tries to raise itself out of the river to a height too pleasant for his or her sin. Throughout the whole story we see Christian doctrine tie into everything. Virgil makes it seem like Hell experiences the effects of the passage of time. Virgil can remember a physically different Hell, and the souls can anticipate the return of their bodies.
The souls in the second ring consist of those who were violent against themselves such as suicides, and for their punishment they have beem transformed into trees. This is unusual to Dante's other punishments. When you think about it becoming a tree is an easy punishment compared to the cruel consequences of the rest. But those who seemed to not want the bodies that God had given them got what they wanted. Now as they reside in Hell they will never be able to have their humanly form again.
Now moving through a third ring, the poets come across yet another "red" stream. Virgil informs Dante that the source to Hell's water is underneath a mountain where sits a broken statue of a man and the water falls like tears down into a pool. It's sort of a way to see a physical example of mankind crumbling and falling apart. Dante takes his politcal views and kind of cusions them throughout the story, and speaks highly of his allies but poorly of the enemies. Dante now also sees the flaws among his own saying, “so long as conscience is not betrayed, / I am prepared for Fortune to do her will” (XV.89–90). So regardless of your political view, sinning against God must not go unpunished.
I dont know about you guys but it's beginning to get harder for me to come up with an arguement because all the poets seem to be doing is going through Hell and it more so describes to us the physical matters and whats taking place. Maybe its just me but im starting to struggle to come up with good arguments...any ideas to help??
