Contrapasso Research Paper

271 Words2 Pages

Contrapasso is a law of nature meaning the crime you commit you must get an equal and fitting punishment. The crime that I chose which I believe has the best fitting punishment is greed. The punishment for greed is told in chapter 7 “ These souls pushed heavy weights before them in the circle, and when they met they crashed the heavy weights together .” This punishment is best fitting because when the sinners were alive they’d either hoard wealth or spent it all. Like Virgil said “These sinners were incontinent when it came to wealth”. Since sinners were incontinent when it came to wealth they now carry big boulders the wealth that they couldn’t save or spend. The crime that I chose which I believe has the least fitting punishment is lust.

  • Theme Of Greed In The Pardoner's Tale

    813 Words  | 4 Pages

    “There are three gates to self-destructive hell: lust, anger, and greed” was a quote of an Indian text called the Bhagavad Gita. Chaucer’s stories “the wife of bath” and “pardoner 's tale” in Canterbury Tales are good examples of the Indian text written in two different stories. In both of the tales Chaucer describes greed into very distinct ways, one involves a greed for lust the other involves a greed for money. In Chaucer 's the pardoner 's tale you can easily tell the type of greed that is in the story ,which is the greed for money. This is also one of the most ironic tale since the pardoner is the most greediest person amongst the group.
