We've spent three episodes with this penitent envious soul, Sapía. Now let's look at the entire interchange between her and our pilgrim, Dante . . . as well as the ways PURGATORIO, Canto XIII, reflects INFERNO, Canto XIII.
Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we talk about the increasingly complex ironies found in one of the most compelling souls in all of Dante's COMEDY.

Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:
[01:23] Reading the entire passage with Sapia: PURGATORIO, Canto XIII, lines 85 - 154.
[05:58] If they're playing a rhetorical game, Dante the pilgrim started it.
[06:54] The structure of their exchange: his flattery--her truth (sort of)--his truth (sort of)--her request.
[09:23] The envious are hard to pick out from their landscape. Is that a thematic or even rhetorical problem?
[10:20] Sapía's discourse is either textured with irony or incredibly uneven. Why?
[12:17] PURGATORIO XIII has many parallels with INFERNO XIII.
[17:10] Moments in Sapía's passage to keep in mind for PURGATORIO XIV ahead.
