since you know dante so well, i feel you should analyze hannibal S3 through the lens of the inferno 👀 since it's brought up so often

i've seen some inferno/hannibal comparisons before and honestly i don't like most of them. possibly because i have very specific views towards both pieces of media. also i really wouldn't say i know a lot about dante, i assure you there's plenty of folks that know more (ie my grandpa knows all three books of the divine comedy by memory). i'm but a very opinionated italophone.

before we start: general tw for blaspheming on my part both against the christian god and towards dante, since many seem to regard the dude as a god himself.

alright so. let's see how long this gets.

i know you asked abt s3 and the inferno and while yeah that would be the most obvious parallel since they really lathered it on pretty thick, i really think the entire show parallels the arc of the divine comedy, each season going hand in hand with a book from the trilogy.

the inferno opens with dante having a mid-life crisis of faith. he finds himself in a 'dark forest' and when he finally reaches the light he is blocked right in front of it by three beasts that represent cardinal vices. virgil saves him from the beasts, but to come back to the world of the living dante will have to travel through hell, purgatory, and lastly paradise. will's three beasts are garrett jacob hobbs as a manifestation of guilt, encephalitis, and isolation.

much like will, dante goes through hell recoiling from horrors of his own creation. he can't even describe some of the things he sees in hell, and often faints from the sight of them, yet comes up with some pretty horrible punishments all on his own and doles out judgement on whoever he pleases based on his own moral code. of course in his book, not irl, though if i remember correctly he did participate in a war, so who knows.

hannibal does seem a sort of virgil, as he sweeps in to rubber stamp will, letting him into hell proper, and will graham's dark forest is a thicket of corpses. at the end of s1, much like dante and virgil, will sees the face of the devil as he lifts hannibal's veil.

the real virgil might be beverly, considering her nearly unwavering faith in will and her no-bullshit attitude, on top of how she always seems to stabilise will when he's in dark places simply by being down to earth.

at the same time this exact same formula is mirrored in hannibal, though much more subtly. hannibal's dark forest is made of loneliness. he starts to fall in love from the moment he meets will, and he can see the glimpse of his own light: being understood for the first time in his life. but he has his own beasts, and he will have to go through his own journey to reach the highest peak of paradise and see the face of god.

dante's purgatory is nearly the same as the inferno, the only difference being that these sinners will eventually be accepted into heaven, and that is somewhat mirrored in the first and second season, as they both follow a similar plot. trust is slowly gained and built upon, secrets start to tangle our mains up, there is a horrible betrayal. will is released from the temporary purgatory of his cell, where he'd been imprisoned for the crime of seeing hannibal for who he really was, and thinks his ticket to heaven will be one more act in the name of justice. at the end of the purgatory, virgil must leave dante, as he can't enter paradise, and leaves him in the hands of his unrequited beloved, beatrice. at the end of season 2, will has to be left behind by hannibal, as he was not ready to follow hannibal into the "paradise" that hannibal had built for them. and in reverse, will must let hannibal go and find his own "paradise" in a "ready made family," as hannibal calls it.

you would think the fight with the red dragon is the moment when they see the devil in the inferno, but imo it's the part where beatrice brings dante to meet god. either way, whether they survived the fall or not, they have seen the face of god, and god is their love.

my dearest anon. you sent me this at midnight and it is now 1.45am and this is how far i'm willing to go without taking out the books and rewatching the show. i have gone through my own journey. i now see the light of pillow comfy. goodnight, have fun taking this apart, i shall slumber.

danteposting on the dash this means I have to get back on my danoli bullshit

because hey. isn't it terrible that they had to grow up so fast so young in completely opposite directions. Olivine being denied simple childhood joys and finding solace in the act of caring for others, to the point where his intimacy gifts are all used for taking care of kids. being made to be gentle and mature and unproblematic, perfectly saccharine, perfectly perfect. and Dante being orphaned too young and being forced to lead too young, having to make harsh choices and bad deals because he holds a kingdom's worth of lives on his young, young shoulders. and they're both so good at the facade, in opposite directions, gentleness and harshness, but the effect is the same: it's about keeping people from looking deeper, lest they see that they're only human after all.

more danteposting 🫶 i love how he almost always looks so nice and sweet in cutscenes meanwhile internally he’s thinking about death and dismemberment

#i like to think that glitch where there’s constant screaming in the background is just his internal monologue #my sunshine my everything #dante

[fata-vocant]

let’s have discourse about NEW bad commedia takes. i’ll start.

- virgil is actually alive the whole time

- dante the poet and dante the pilgrim have nothing in common. two entirely different dudes.

- francesca effectively utilized girl power

-  the concept of florence is one long metaphor for sexual repression

- the most important character is malacoda

- statius is a hallucination

- dante was actually protestant

- the most important character is ciacco

- beatrice is an aries, based off of her interactions with dante

- dante predicted homestuck

- dante never read the aeneid

- theres actually a lot of dogs in heaven dante just didn’t write about them

- beatrice gay for matilda

- the most important character is henry vii, he doesnt even show up but he is the most important

- everyone is jesus in purgatory

- everyone in inferno is a theater kid. thats actually not a bad take hold on
