Canto 13, 14, 15

[Canto 13]

• "No fruit but poisoned thorns" This can be compared to as the garden of Eden. In the garden the fruit that Adam and Eve partook of was poisoned and then turned the way they looked at life and the garden. The poisoned thorns can represent how they saw the fruit tree after they ate the apple.

[Canto 14]

• The rain of fire relates to the destruction of Sodom. God destroyed it with brimstone and fire. The name Sodom is related by some as sin. The idea of falling fire and coming all of the sudden and brought down by God is connected to the rain of fire in hell.

[Canto 15]

• Dante wants Beatrice to explain Brunetto Latinie's prophecy. He claims she is a women of good wit and knowledge. He probably wants her to tell him because he is claimed to be a man that had a lot of intercourse and maybe he assumed that she would know of him. She is also a Florentine women who Dante is very fond of.
