I know that there are some underlying, important ides centered around Dante’s obsssion with Beatrice and he even states that if you don’t get it, you’re not cool. Well, I can confidently say that I am not worthy of this guy’s time. I get that there is this near obsession with love and that she has a key to his vulnerability and hopes. But when he begins to create this holy air around here I become completely lost.
She is god-like and yet she barely even gives him a second glance. I can understand why there is a sudden relief for him when she dies. I mean, he needed those chains broken. I also don’t understand why he lavishes these poems with gushy imagery and what not but then has these incredibly simplistic and plain explanations. Is there some sort of greater significance involved here?
I’m no real romantic. I’m too skewed […]
