Topic Scope And Freshness
Key Notes
evidence
The reading shows Dante still emotionally snagged by kinship and vengeance when he notices the unavenged spirit of Geri del Bello among the mutilated shades.
evidence
Jiang explains that many cultures of the period killed sons alongside fathers because otherwise the sons became morally obligated to avenge the family line.
diagnosis
He concedes that Dante's exile and hatred of the Pope may be bleeding into the scene as vengeance, yet he still asks the class to extend grace and assume the poet is trying to speak for God.
definition
Jiang glosses the line about concealed vengeance as a direct complaint to God for seeming not to act against ecclesial corruption.
diagnosis
Jiang says Dante's fellow exiles are consumed by vengeance against the Black Guelphs and that the grandfather's warning is to abandon factional politics, bloodlust, and even familiar company in order to seek the true path.
