Dante's Divine Comedy - Blog Posts
Sometimes I think about the Ugolino statue in the Musée d'Orsay where he's sitting, surrounded by his sons, gnawing at his fingers.
The way their hands all claw at his legs?? while he's clawing at his hands?? And you can just feel everything on each of their pained expressions- the hunger, the desperation. THE LITERAL REPRESENTATION OF DECISIONS EATING AT YOU
y'all remember when dante wrote a fanfiction of the bible and then hozier wrote a fanfiction of said fanfiction?? iconic if you ask me
Sonichu is just Dante's Inferno
Think about it, both the Sonichu comics and Dante's Inferno star a self-insert traversing a fantasy land where half of the story is just the author (who, in real life, is an outcast/exile) depicting awful things happening to people they have some personal vendetta against. Both protagonists are even accompanied by a spirit guide (Virgil for Dante and Sonichu for Chris) based on the author's personal idols.
And, of course, both authors are incels.
