At this point in the semester, I am fairly certain that I would like to focus my semester-long project on
Dante's Inferno, though I am still very interested in
The Man in the Moon and
Homer's Odyssey. The Divine Comedy really appeals to me as a result of my faith in Christianity, as well as the interesting moral ideas that come up specifically in Inferno. Are there levels of morality or sin, or is all sin the same in God's eyes? Why do we punish humans for crimes for severely for others? These are all such interesting concepts that people have very different ideas about, and I enjoy discussing my faith with others because the strongest believers tend to have challenged their beliefs the most, at least in my experience. The Man in the Moon is still interesting to me because I am from Oklahoma and native culture is around us constantly, and even OU is on former native land. I am also interested in the Odyssey still because of its classic status and perseverance through time. Additionally, Greek mythology is what got me into reading regularly and even taking this class!
