William Kennedy’s Ironweed : Francis Phelan’s Purgatorial Journey Back Home

hedin, jonas January 2007 (has links)
<p>In the essay “William Kennedy’s Ironweed: Francis Phelan’s Purgatorial Journey Back Home” I intend to show that William Kennedy has borrowed his narrative structure and symbolic language in the novel Ironweed from The Divine Comedy. I will also try to show how William Kennedy has used these allusions to enhance the imagery of Ironweed and the protagonist Francis Phelan’s wandering through the novel, and his return home. To accomplish this I will present a detailed comparative analysis of William Kennedy’s Ironweed and Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy.</p><p>I will begin by showing that Kennedy establishes the protagonist Francis Phelan as a Dante-like figure and a sinner who needs to go through purgatory to redeem himself. Moreover, Kennedy uses Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy’s landscape to enhance the imagery of a journey back home, and by showing that each chapter represents a different level on Mount Purgatory Kennedy makes Albany a symbol of the mountain itself. Details such as the mentioning of the seven deadly sins are also there to make the reader think of Dante and thereby reinforcing the image of The Divine Comedy’s landscape in Francis Phelan’s New York, Albany.</p><p>I also demonstrate that Kennedy borrows his symbolic structure from Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. For example, the intricate ending of Ironweed where several parallels can be drawn to Purgatory and Paradise reinforces the impression of Francis Phelan’s happiness, that is, a reader who is familiar with The Divine Comedy will appreciate and understand Francis Phelan’s happiness and the journey he has accomplished even more.</p>

In this search for paradise in this life, as in the afterlife, the Florentine poet wrote one of the most studied and recited poems in the world, Commedia. Amid political quarrels within Florence, which Dante considered his paradise, the poet was exiled and through his writing roamed the Italian courts in search of a paradise in this life. In this work, we try to demonstrate how this process hapened, either by the political disputes in which Dante became involved, as well as in his defense to the Empire and oposition to the Papacy. The choices of the guides during their imaginary journey and the inspiration in the Byzantine mosaics of Ravenna, were also of fundamental importance for the composition of the Commedia. Thus, we seek to follow the trail and paths traveled by the poet in his incessant search for a paradise, still in this life. / A sociedade cristã sempre imaginou uma recompensa paradisíaca na vida após a morte e com Dante Alighieri não foi diferente. Nesta busca pelo paraíso, tanto nesta vida, quanto na vida após a morte, o poeta florentino escreveu um dos poemas mais estudados e recitados no mundo, a Commedia. Em meio a disputas políticas dentro de Florença, que Dante considerava seu paraíso, o poeta foi exilado e por meio de sua escrita vagou pelas cortes italianas em busca de um paraíso nesta vida. Neste trabalho procuramos demonstrar como se deu este processo, seja pelas disputas políticas em que Dante se envolveu, bem como na sua defesa ao Império e oposição ao Papado. As escolhas dos guias durante sua viagem imaginária e a inspiração nos mosaicos bizantinos de Ravena, também foram de fundamental importância para a composição da Commedia. Assim, procuramos seguir as trilhas e os caminhos percorridos pelo poeta em sua busca incessante por um paraíso, ainda nesta vida.

Dark Journeys: Robert Frost's Dantean Inspiration

Segarra, Elena 01 January 2015 (has links)
This paper examines the way in which Robert Frost incorporates Dantean ideas and imagery into his poetry, particularly in relation to the pursuit of reason and truth. Similarly to Dante, Frost portrays human reason as limited. Both authors nevertheless present truth as a desire that often drives people’s journey through life. Frost differs from Dante by dwelling in apparent contradictions rather than appealing to a clarifying divine light. The paper considers themes of loss, human labor, suffering, and justice, and it also analyzes Scriptural and Platonic inspirations. It focuses on the image of the journey used by both Frost and Dante to describe the experience of living and exploring ideas.

Evolving Mediums: Over the Garden Wall and the Divine Comedy

Doughty, Karissa 01 May 2019 (has links) (PDF)
Dante Alighieri’s transcendental work the Divine Comedy is masterfully appropriated in this cartoon mini-series titled Over the Garden Wall in order to explore the issue of suicidal ideation and depression while contradicting Dante. Through different textual and conceptual appropriations, the show invokes the imagery of the Divine Comedy while creating an ending that is the complete opposite of its source text, turning Dante on his head and becoming an anti-Divine Comedy. The different characters of the epic poem are reimagined for these purposes, and the result is a work of art that makes the personal into the universal.

A comédia de Dalí: considerações sobre recursos visuais / Dalí\'s Comedy: considerations about visual resoures

Murari, Victor Tuon 21 October 2016 (has links)
Esta dissertação de mestrado é resultado da apreciação crítica de seis gravuras de Salvador Dalí para os livros Inferno e Paraíso, da Divina Comédia de Dante Alighieri. Para o Inferno selecionamos: Canto XIV - Os Blasfemos; Canto XXIII - Os Hipócritas; e Canto XXIX - Os Causadores de Discórdias. Para o Paraíso optamos por: Canto XI - A Poeira das Almas; Canto XII - São Boaventura Fala a Dante; e Canto XX - A Constelação dos Espíritos Abençoados. As gravuras foram selecionadas de modo a proporcionar o melhor cenário possível para a comparação, uma vez que a proposta de Salvador Dalí para a narrativa de Dante mostra-se específica para cada livro da Comédia. Com o propósito de tornar a comparação efetiva, optamos por uma análise formal alicerçada em manifestos, diários e produções em outros suportes que não somente o da gravura. Esperamos contribuir com um debate ainda em formação sobre significados, bem como contribuir para a produção de conhecimento acadêmico sobre a circulação dessa obra em território nacional. / This dissertation represents the results of a critical appraisal for six prints by Salvador Dalí of Hell and Paradise books from Dante Alighieri\'s Divine Comedy. For Hell we have selected: Canto XIV - The Blasphemers; Canto XXIII - The Hypocrites; and Canto XXIX - The Causing of Disagreements. For Paradise we have chosen: Canto XI - The Dust of Souls; Canto XII - St. Bonaventure Speaks to Dante; and Canto XX - The Constellation of Blessed Spirits. The pictures were selected to provide the best possible scenario for the comparison, since Salvador Dalí\'s proposal to Dante\'s narrative appears to be specific to each book of the Comedy. In order to do an effective comparison, we have chosen not only engravings, but a formal analysis based on manifests, journals and other media productions. We intent to improve with discuss about meanings of Dali\'s work as an illustrator for the Divine Comedy, as well as contribute to the production of academic knowledge of the circulation of its content in Brazil.
