Yet again, in the spirit of Halloween, I’ve decided to think
of ways that one might dress up as a character from Dante’s inferno. How funny
it would be if our class dressed up as the characters in Dante’s Inferno? I
smell more bonus points….. For example, Kincy could dress as a soothsayer in
the 8th circle by flipping all of her hair over her face and tying a
mask to the back of her head. Samantha could dress as a tree and tie a fake
body to her arm. Miranda could dress as Cerberus by dressing as a dog and
attaching two fake dog heads to both of her shoulders. Brooke could dress as
Medusa by braiding her hair into multiple braids and attaching snake heads to
each braid and surround her self with winning furies. Amy could dress as Minos,
Ian as a centaur with his bow and arrow, Joey as the Minotaur, and I as Malacoda.
Ms. King and Mrs. Quinet could be Dante and Virgil. Thanks to Google, I
discovered that I am not the only one who thought about this… (someone could
also dress as Shakira aka shewolf)

This is hilarious. I actually looked up Shakira's lyrics in hope that there was a dante allusion. Of course there wasn't. But the lyrics were so funny that I decided to post them anyway. If you try really hard you can make a few connections.
For example, the wolf is sin in disguise?
S.O.S she is in disguise
S.O.S she is in disguise
There's a she wolf in disguise,
Coming out, coming out, coming out
A domesticated girl that's all you ask of me,
Darling it is no joke, this is lycanthropy.
Moon's awake now, with eyes wide open
My body is craving, so feed the hungry
I've been devoting myself to you
Monday to Monday
And Friday to Friday
Not getting enough retribution or decent incentives to keep me at it
Starting to feel just a little abused
Like a coffee machine in an office (aaa)
So I'm gonna go somewhere closer
To get me a lover and tell you about it
There's a she wolf in the closet,
Open up and set it free [wolf sound]
There's a she wolf in the closet,
Let it out so it can breathe (inhales, exhales)
Sitting across the bar, staring right at her prey,
It's going well so far, she's gonna get her way.
Nocturnal creatures are not so prudent,
The moon's my teacher, and I'm her student.
To look at the single man I've got on me a special radar,
And the fire department's hotline in case i get in trouble later
Not looking for cute little divas or rich city guys that just want to enjoy
I'm having a very good time and behave very bad in the arms of a boy
There's a she wolf in the closet,
Open up and set it free [wolf sound]
There's a she wolf in the closet,
Let it out so it can breathe (inhales, exhales)
S.O.S she is in disguise
S.O.S she is in disguise, breathes heavily
There's a she wolf in disguise,
Coming out, coming out, coming out
S.O.S she is in disguise
S.O.S she is in disguise
There's a she wolf in disguise,
Coming out, coming out, coming out
There's a she wolf in the closet,
Let it out so it can breathe (inhales, exhales)
Kincy, I like the shakira lyrics. And I have to say that I'm very excited that I get to be Minos in this situation. Minos is a very interesting character. I don't remember much about him beside the fact that he would feed children to the Minotaur. It was very confusing why God would place Minos in such an honorable position. Minos works as a channel to implement God's Divine Justice. It's odd that He wouldn't place an angel in this position instead. Perhaps Dante placed Minos as the judge in order to better blend Christian and classical beliefs.
