1.What is the significance of the different Italian towns and cities referenced by various sinners in many of the chapters in the inferno? Such as Count Ugolino and Pisa in Canto XXXIII and many others who have discussed the troubles of their cities or who have given Dante messages to go back with.
2.Why does the book make the journey back to earth such a quick one? What was Dante's point in doing this?
3. Why did Judas and Caiaphas not receive the same or at least a somewhat similar punishment? Both were enemies of Jesus, but Judas received the worst punishment while Caiaphas received a pretty gruesome, yet "better" consequence.
4. What was the overall significance of the number 3 in the comedy?
5. After returning to earth, do you actually believe that Dante will fulfill all of the promises that he made to the sinners in hell? Such as being remembered or checking on family.
