Talk:Episode 32: Dante of the Deep Forest (2003 series)

"The title of this episode may be a reference to opening lines of the first book in The Divine Comedy series, Dante's Inferno."

Is this true? I haven't read The Divine Comedy so I wouldn't know, but I always thought the name of the episode came from the fact that her name was Dante and she lives in the forest. Please to be explaining!--Fullmetal Fan 06:21, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, The Divine Comedy does open with the protagonist/narrator stepping into the deep dark forest. I can't quote since I only have the book in Russian, but it's not like the translation is very liberate. --Kiadony 10:40, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Coincidentally, I happen to have a translation of The Divine Comedy next to me, as I'm supposed to be writing a paper on it instead of being on this site right now. The words have been moved around somewhat to aid the rhyme scheme, but it's a pretty faithful modern translation. Canto I is called "The Dark Wood of Error".
 * "Midway in our life's journey, I went astray
 * from the straight road and woke to find myself
 * alone in a dark wood. How shall I say
 * what wood that was! I never saw so drear,
 * so rank, so arduous a wilderness!
 * Its very memory gives a shape to fear.
 * Death could scarce be more bitter than that place!
 * But since it came to good, I will recount
 * all that I found revealed there by God's grace."
 * Dante Alighieri didn't live in a forest, however. He was a city boy out of Florence. CorbeauKarasu 19:07, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
