It has been almost 50 years since I read it and still I can remember some of the effects it had on me when I did. Bless you.

don't worry girl ~ I'm pretty sure Dante won't be able to write a sequel!

Lancelot and Guenevere are shown in a magic circle, in the film - but not rotting - they're having a grand old time being lovers - of course, their joy doesn't last...

Re: enigmatic
Well, Dante makes a reference to the legend of Sir Lancelot and Ginevere as he
actually sees them rotting in the second circle because of their sin.

Merlin scolded King Uther for ruining his reign, "All for lust," in the film, "Excalibur." (One of my all-time favorites - !)
