Social Class and Sanity

cvilletochucktown:

A Gustave Dore painting of a scene from The Divine Comedy, Canto XXXIII. Here Dante and Virgil are walking through Cocytus, the frozen lake filled with sinners reserved for betrayers, and located in the ninth and last circle of Hell. Their gaze is transfixed on two men, Count Ugolino della Gherardesca, and Archbishop Ruggieri degli Ubaldini. The Count Ugolino is eating the head and brain of Ruggieri as punishment for his betrayal.
