Desperate to get out of Barcelona, she goes to Brussels, because a city whose symbol is a little boy pissing was a city I knew I would like; as an au pair in Scotland, she develops a hatred of the color green.

Sono soprattutto gli incontri con le anime dell'aldila che, mediante i rispettivi dialoghi, danno al racconto il suo tono caratteristico... Ognuno dei tanti personaggi, che Dante immagina di trovare lungo il suo terribile e glorioso cammino, spiega al protagonista (e anche al lettore) chi e stato e cos'ha fatto nella vita terrena, e come mai si trova in quel preciso luogo dell'oltretomba. Anche da tali numerosi incontri deriva la variegata tonalita degli episodi...: di conseguenza essa risulta generalmente comica nell'Inferno, complessivamente piu elevata nel Purgatorio e solennissima nel Paradiso, salvo il fatto che la natura del personaggio puo colorare di volta in volta, in maniera diversa, la scena che lo riguarda, come nel caso di Farinata degli Uberti o di Ulisse che marcano rapsodiche impennate di solennita anche dentro la voragine infernale.
