guide through hell

I would choose Dante because he has been through Hell before. He would be the perfect guide and he knows everything about Hell. He would be the guaranteed best guide through Hell.

Riddle-Mona Lisa

I live in Paris
I am from 1503 or 1506
I don't remember which
My eyes follow yours
I am well known for my beauty,
my long brown hair,
and brown eyes.
I am much smaller in person
And I seem to confuse people
with my blank stare

The Squire (Orlando Bloom)

    

The Squire is the Knights young twenty year old son who is “devoted to love” and “dresses in flowers”. The Squire is also devoted to making his father happy and helping him out in any way he can and his father appreciates that. He is also full of many talents in which he uses to attract women. He has talents such as playing the flute, singing, drawing, and riding. Orlando Bloom seems to play many roles in movies in which he plays a young “lover boy”. He also plays roles in which he has to be fighting in battle. Like in the movie Troy, Orlando Bloom plays a role in which he fights in battle, follows his dad’s lead, and is infatuated with women. Orlando Bloom has long curly hair and seems to have that boyish charm that anyone would look for if they were looking to an actor to play the part of the Squire in a movie or play about the Canterbury Tales.

Wife of Baths (Lindsay Lohan)

The Wife of Baths is known as a “keen seamstress”. She is known for having had five husbands that she uses for money and personal pleasure. She wears skimpy clothes and talks with a lisp to let people know she is available. The Wife of Baths is very rebellious for doing what she does. Especially for the time period she is living in. Lindsay Lohan would be the perfect actress to play the role of the Wife of Baths. She is known for being rebellious in real life and on screen. She played the role of a high school girl who turns scandalous fast in the movie called “Mean Girls”. When I think of Wife of Baths I immediately think of Lindsay Lohan. If there was a CAterbury Tales movie Lindsay Lohan would be perfect for the role.

The Pardoner (Neil Patrick Harris)

\

The Pardoner is a handsome man who fashionably rides in with the Summoner wearing nothing on his head. The narrator thinks he is gay because of his high pitched voice. The Pardoner is an excellent storyteller, preacher, and singer but he steals donations from the church which is very ironic of him. Neil Patrick Harris is perfect for playing the part of the Pardoner. In the role that Neil Patrick Harris plays in how I met your mother he is known as the “scheming womanizer” which would help him out while playing the role of the pardoner because he would scheme the church people out of their money. Also Neil Patrick is a well known and out spoken gay. He is open about his sexuality in real life and Neil Patrick Harris would play an excellent gay male probably because he would know how to act. In “How I Met Your Mother” Neil Patrick Harris is always wearing the nicest suits. He also is very handsome and always seems to be sporting nice clothing with would make him more like the pardoner. 

Prologue Addition

Its Charlie Sheen and Winning is his thing
He drinks that tiger blood hashtag winning
He might be a little too crazy for my taste
Its probably because he is full of waste
Its Charlie Sheen and he is here to party
He is high as a kite like Bob Marley
He is a repulsive womanizer
And you should not take that any lighter
Now do not forget it is Charlie Sheen
He thinks he is the man hashtag winning

Summary

After Virgil’s failure to gain entrance through the gates into the city of Dis, Dante is shocked, grows pale, and becomes scared. Virgil points out to Dante the three creatures that are half woman half serpent. There names are Megaera, Allecto, and Tisiphone. They begin to beat and attack each other. Then the creatures say “Let Medusa come: so we will turn him to concrete.” Virgil quickly tells Dante to turn and close his eyes. A huge noise shakes the ground causing the furies to scatter and Dante turns to see a messenger from heaven crossing styx with a bunch of souls fleeing from him. Dante and Virgil bowed to him and the messenger opens the gate to the sixth circle of hell. The heretics live in this circle of hell. It is filled with fire and tombs.

Sin/Sinners

The sin in this canto is only briefly presented but Virgil states “Here are the chiefs of heresies with their followers, of every sect, and much more than you believe are the tombs of laden.” after Dante asks who are the people buried in these tombs.
