Canto IV: Limbo
Virtuous Pagans & Un-baptized Children
– Dante awakens (fainted while crossing the river
Styx – Acheron) – and sees the vastness of Hell
– The “Circles” represent ledges around the
edges of a great pit
Virtuous Pagans
– Born without the light of Christ’s revelation
– Their only pain is that they have no hope.

Canto IV
“…Has any, by his own or another’s merit, gone ever from this place of blessedness?” Dante asked
“I was still new to the estate of tears (Why?) when a Mighty One descended here among us, crowned with the sign of His victorious years. He took from us the shade of our first parent, of Abel, his pure son, of ancient Noah, of Moses, the bringer of law, the obedient. Father Abraham, David the King, Israel with his father and his children, Rachel, the holy vessel of His blessing, and many more He chose for elevation among the elect. And before these, you must know, no human soul had ever won salvation.”

Canto IV
The company of six is reduced by four. My
Master leads me by another road out of that
serenity to the roar and trembling air of Hell.
I pass from light into the kingdom of eternal
night.

A great storm of putrefaction falls
incessantly
Stinking snow and freezing rain which forms
into a vile slush underfoot
Souls of the damned lie in the icy paste,
swollen and obscene

Canto VI
Cerberus guards them and eats their flesh
– What does this represent?
– Think about what they did in life…
In life they made no higher use of the gifts of
God than to wallow in food and drink
– Producers of nothing but garbage and offal.
