The difference between the divine comedy and modern garbage fantasy is the divine comedy takes place in reality. While most fantasy, like Name of the Wind, do not take place in reality. Even Virgil and Homer wrote their poems thinking they were depicting reality.

In modern fantasy the story doesn't take place in reality. It takes place in a world made up by the author. This world is never as interesting as reality. I don't care how good an author is at world-building. Great authors never world-build, they just observe the world.

Divine Comedy/Dante thread?
Im in the middle of Paradiso right now. It's much denser than Inferno or Purgatorio but I really like the metaphysics and the philosophy.
