For this assignment you will discuss one of Gustave Dor?s illustrations for Dante?s Inferno (Hell). These illustrations can be viewed at:

http://www.worldofdante.org/gallery_dore.html.

After viewing the illustrations, select one that you would like to write about. You should then compose a short response paper (1?2 pages, double-spaced) describing your experience of viewing the illustration from an informed perspective (i.e. now that you?ve read Dante?s Inferno) and engaging/critiquing the position that the illustration expresses in relation to the text. Your response should not simply describe the illustration, but should consider some the following questions:
? What moment in the text does the piece depict?
? What?s significant about that moment, exactly?
? What is the overall mood of the piece?
? Does that mood resemble the mood that you imagined when reading the text?
? Which details has the artist chosen to emphasize, and which has he excluded?
? Are there any flourishes or details that the artist has inserted that are not included in the text? What are the effects of these decisions?
