Dante's midlife crisis (falls into sin)

Dark wood of error= sin/forbidden knowledge, easy to get lost to sin and darkness

70 (emphasis on 7) 3 (trinity) + 4 (NSEW, 4 seasons, elements)= 7 (number of completeness) (god's covenant) 70 = big Bible number

Mount of Joy (only way closer to God is to reject sin)

Easter season (time of the resurrection of Christ)

She-wolf of incontinence- he cannot help his sins- lack of self restraint

sun=god

God's punishment for sin- 6Therefore a lion from the forest will strike them down, a wolf from the desert will ravage them. A leopard will lie in wait near their cities, and everyone who ventures out will be torn to pieces. For their rebellious acts are many, and their unfaithful deeds are numerous.

Dante manipulates the astrological timing to make Easter perfect and in line with his fate/realization
