Status Updates From Die göttliche Komödie

Canto 24 is collapse. Thieves are hunted by snakes—bitten, burned to ash, then reformed, over and over. They spent their lives taking from others, so now even their sense of self isn’t theirs to keep. Dante meets Vanni Fucci, who doesn’t repent. Admits the crime, curses God, and walks straight into his punishment again. Just defiance. This isn’t about mistakes—it’s about what repeated choices do to you.
