Does the Devil Wear Prada?

Go here to read a very interesting article from a man who translated Dante's major poetic trilogy.
If anything, at least read up until you see how Dante depicts the devil. Fascinating.
Also, the way that freedom is talked about is quite refreshing:
"It is hard to recall the medieval definition of freedom, which was not the political license to follow our bellies or the philosophical encouragement to send our elders packing. Freedom was understood, rather, as a growing into the habits, the virtues, that allow us to fulfill our end as human beings without the impediments of vice."
