These last few presentations so far have been in circles 8 and 9 where fraudulent people are sent in general. So far the presentations have been very interesting to watch. When I first found out that we were going to be viewing presentations in class for the next few weeks I was wasn't looking forward to it because I thought that they would be boring but surprisingly it has been just the opposite. The first canto we viewed was canto 19, this canto stuck out to me mostly because of the punishment. The sinners are church officials generally who influence others with the aid of their high status. The punishment is to be buried head first into a hole, and the soles of your feet to be burned until a new sinner arrives and then you are pushed farther down into the hole.
The next canto that stuck out to me was canto 20. The magicians, astrologers, and diviners are sent here. Their punishment was especially terrifying. They have their heads turned around backwards and walk in circles until the end of time. Because the sinners are so deceiving their heads are turned away from the truth. The last canto I will touch on is canto is canto 26 which was presented by Noah. The visual that he presented was especially interesting. Is actual visual was a pinata. Which was two faced because half of the horse pinata was burned. Inside the pinata when you would think there would be candy there was actually vegetables. This also goes back to how the fraudulent concealers who are the sinners in canto 29 are two faced and constantly untrustworthy.
