Give chase

So now we are in Malebolge, this mini-hell with very specific subsections for the hypocrites, grafters, simonists. But the thing that intrigued me about these chapters were the “Evilclaws”. The creatures who were originally tasked to protect Virgil and Dante, but later deceived him (what a surprise, creatures in hell are evil and liars). The idea of Virgil and Dante running from these creatures intrigued me. They sought shelter from the creatures in different sections of hell. They found the feeling of relief in hell. Dante created a scenario in hell where a less feeling of “bad” could be felt in hell. The escape from those creatures wasn’t really an escape, as they were going back into hell, and were still in hell. Were the evil claws gonna get Dante and Virgil and still the face down in the mud with the other folks? What is Dante truly afraid of regarding the Evilclaws? What’s gonna happen if they are brought back to the fifth ditch of malebolge? Most of these chapters were difficult for me to find something I truly connect with to write about, but I definitely enjoy a good suspenseful chase “scene” in a book. It keeps things interesting.
