Who does Dante the pilgrim meet, and what takes place in their encounter? How does Dante the pilgrim react? What sin does the canto depict? How does Dante the poet understand the sin and its severity? What is the punishment and in what way is it a contrapasso (how does it fit the sin)? How did you react to the canto?
