À propos de cet audio
In this episode of Deep Dives Rewired, Charlie and Laura unravel Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, with a sharp focus on Inferno, the epic vision of Hell that has haunted Western imagination for centuries. They begin with Dante’s own life: a man exiled from Florence, torn by political strife, and driven to immortalize his struggle in poetry.
From there, the journey descends with Dante and his guide Virgil through the nine circles of Hell, where every sin finds its punishment. Laura explores how Dante wove Christian theology with mythological figures, while Charlie challenges how much of it was art, how much was propaganda, and what it reveals about human fears.
The conversation doesn’t just stay in the 14th century. They tackle modern interpretations, how Inferno still shapes our cultural view of justice, how its biases expose medieval prejudices, and why Dante’s unique storytelling continues to resonate.
It’s more than a tour of Hell. It’s a mirror into history, morality, and the human imagination.
