It was a cold November 16, 1934 and Everett Ruess was in a sticky situation. He was stuck in a snow igloo hastily made 6 days before his hands were poisoned by a rattlesnake’s bite. The rattlesnake that had bitten him had an owner, Frank Dandis, his greedy childhood friend who moved to Escalante, Utah five years before. Six days ago, they were the best of friends, but now they were bitter enemies stuck in an igloo because of a whirlwind snowstorm. Frank Dandis was a farmer who had always dreamed of being a roamer, one who explores nature’s natural beauty as a profession.
When Dantes gains vengeance for Caderousse’s selfish actions, he is justified because Caderousse is the source of his own downfall. When Dantes returns to Marseilles, he is appalled to learn that his father was forced to pay “a hundred and forty francs” to Caderousse and that he “lived for three months on [only] sixty francs” (8). Dantes begins to grow displeased with Caderousse because he did not display mercy for a Dantes’s poor, old father who needed the money he owed to survive. During the scene when Dantes’s alias, Abbe Busoni, gives Caderousse a diamond, he is ecstatic and shows Abbe Busoni “effusive declarations of gratitude” (110). He does this because, like before, he is only thinking of himself and the earnings he will obtain from
103-105.) Dante starts to grow throughout his journey and this was a major milestone for him because he stops feeling compassion for the wrongdoers and their punishment. For those convicted of domestic violence, Dante would have conflicting feelings for those involved, because this is an in-between stage, and would also have some concern for those that feel guilty. However, Dante would have no tolerance for those who deny any wrongdoing.
While Dantes learned the trades of malice and spite, his fiance Mercedes suffered outside waiting for him.

In The Inferno, Dante is the hero of the story. Dante is the man exiled from his home as a result of his political struggles and beliefs with the choice between evil and good. Dante’s heroism is in the form of humanity as he faces the challenge which all human beings struggle with. Dante’s courage is tested as he journeys through the rings of hell.

•Edmond Dantès: Protagonist. Edmond’s unequivocal happiness is cut short when his enemies, who are blinded by their jealousy and self-bitterness, plot against him.

In The Comedy, Dante the Pilgrim develops a relationship with his damned idol, Virgil, in order to journey through both Inferno and Purgatory. Even though Virgil was a good man while living, he lacked understanding of certain virtues, like pride, which prevented him from being able to reach higher levels in the afterlife. Dante the Poet’s choice to damn Virgil conveys that obeying a higher order is the way to one’s salvation. The developing relationship between Virgil and Dante the Pilgrim throughout the first two canticles brings light to the opposing separation between the two characters because of the devotion Dante has to Christian virtues in comparison to Virgil’s pagan misunderstanding of virtue. While Dante the Pilgrim experiences many
This pope is not physically in Dante’s Hell, because he was not yet dead at the time he was writing the poem. However, to Dante, Pope Boniface VIII was one of the most corrupt and fraudulent because he led a false perception of wanting to make peace. This false perception undermines the church and all of its followers, causing him to eventually join Pope Nicholas III in his misery, following the theme of how the abuse of power, particularly in the church and politics, is despicable towards
The Count is a slippery figure drifting in and out between who he is and what he does in society. Taking the form of a eccentric millionaire, dubbed the Count of Monte Cristo, or manifesting himself as the omniscient priest, Abbe Busoni, and accordingly personifies himself as Sinbad the Sailor and Lord Wilmore. Edmond Dantes composes himself as needed to guide his masterful plot of revenge into place using each alias to masquerade his identity. As easily as a snake can shed skin, Dantes transforms before he confronts Caderousse , "the count's hair disappeared beneath a tonsured wig. The triangular hat... finished the transformation of the count into a priest," (Dumas 333).
Monte Cristo’s revenge plan for Fernand consists of ruining his reputation and causing his own wife and son to leave him, which results in his ultimate doom—suicide. Fernand’s initial offense against Dantes is that he is the one who delivers Danglars’ letter blaming Dantes of Bonapartist action since he is in love with Mercedes and thus hates and envies Dantes, who is Mercedes’ fiancée. Thus, unlike Caderousse, Fernand is one of the three main conspirators and further wrongs Dantes by marrying Mercedes after Dantes is imprisoned. Therefore, since Fernand marries Dantes’ fiancée and becomes the esteemed Count of Morcerf while Dantes suffers alone in prison, Monte Cristo attacks Fernand’s reputation as well as his relationships with those he
At the final 9th circle, Dante encounters Count Ugolino, a traitor against italy. Dante listens to Ugolino’s story about the tragedy of himself and his sons, reflects the theme of human reason and emotions. Count Ugolino commits an ambiguous sin and has an unreliable reaction towards it, which causes the reader to question the incredibly heavy punishment that Count Ugolino is dealt.
