Dante's reaction to francesca in canto v has provoked differing interpretations. some read the scene as evidence that he is sympathetic to passionate love—that the sin of lust is of less consequence than the humanity of the lovers—and that is the real moral lesson here. others believe the scene demonstrates how dangerously seductive francesca is and that love and lust are the same things to her. she is in this circle of hell because she refuses to take responsibility for her actions. and what about paolo—is he the seducer or the victim? what do you think? based on your understanding of dante, what is the lesson he wants us to learn?

What is the significance of the above statement in relation to the play’s conclusion? oedipus treats his inferiors poorly but ultimately grants them the same respect he grants to nobility. while teiresias appears to be mocking oedipus, the real message is one of warning about the forces working against the king. oedipus earns great fame for answering the riddle of the sphinx but ultimately loses his crown to a common man. just as oedipus is unable to conceive that he has done wrong in the past, he is unable to imagine that his enviable position is impermanent.
