Beatrice was sent to help guide Dante through Hell and it is she who is the patron of Dante’s self-remembrance. The encouragement, love, and passion of another has a restorative effect on a person.

A Comparison Of Huckleberry Finn And On The Road
1716 Words - 7 Pages.... of two cross country trips which he made in the United States during the late 1940's. Both authors have created fictional characters behind which they are able to freely account for some of their own adventures and observations. Twain's style of writing is that of a deadpan narrator, who tells of Huck's foibles without Huck being able to laugh at himself because he does not know that some of the things he does are funny (Bloom, p.32). Many times Huck's remarks are two sided- Huck is serious about what he is saying, and Twain is using Huck's character to show the underlying humor. Also, like Kerouac's Sal, Huck is a magnificent observer: Huck notices the details of wh ....

“Over churning water and bloodstained wave.
Then for the Danes was the woe the deeper,
The sorrow sharper for Scylding earls,

The shield-troop halted. Their eyes beheld
The swimming forms of strange ....
