All consuming love

Fail school, lose
job, etc

But we are still
together

It's the only one
Dante cries

Virgil
smacks him out of it

Self centered love

The Good kind of
Love

Is
external facing

Opposite
of pride

Still
need to do other things

Being bounced around

Franchesa's tone is
fascinating

Franchasca: dramatic
irony

People complain that
they should not be in hell

But there is
something wrapped up in this

What is significant
about Francesca doing all the talking and Paolo doing all the crying?

She
is leading the relationship

Evaluate Francesca's
tone-- her attitude toward her situation and God. Is she justified? Doesn't
love give you the right, as the old song goes?

Tone
and irony

Attitude
towards her situation

They
are in hell (hello!)

Dramatic
irony

Revealing
more than she intends to

Commits adultery

They
represent adultery (lust)

Were
real historical figures

What dramatic irony is apparent
in Francesca's discourse?

Pasted
from <http://mrmullen.pbwiki.com/Inferno-Canto-5>

She is wining in her
conversation

It's not our fault

It's the book's
fault

Other people don't
understand love

Today: you ditch
someone to hang out with gf

It's
OK: I'm in love; I have a pass

I
can make out in the hallway; I'm in love: I have a pass: You're jealous
