The Vision of Hell by Gustave Doré
Which aspect of Doré's illustration most clearly differs from Dante's text?
A. Lucifer chews on sinners.
B. Lucifer emerges from ice.
C. Lucifer has only one face.
D. Lucifer is depicted as a giant.



Answer :

The aspect of Doré's illustration that most clearly differs from Dante's text is: B. Lucifer emerges from ice. In Dante's text, Lucifer is depicted as being trapped in the ice at the very bottom of Hell, which symbolizes his role as the ultimate punisher of sinners. However, in Doré's illustration, Lucifer is not emerging from ice but is shown in a more dynamic and imposing posture. This deviation from the text's description of Lucifer being encased in ice is a significant departure from Dante's depiction of the scene in "The Vision of Hell."
