Bridget's feedback:

"The wealth of details in your essay brings dimensionality to this overview of Dante's life, which proceeds logically and at a good pace for the reader. I question the point of listing each circle of Hell in summarizing Inferno; that particular paragraph seems a missed opportunity to draw a few more parallels to Dante's life (as you do earlier with the note about Virgil occupying a father role). Can you pitch that summary more toward the claim found in your last sentence ("his works reflect his experiences")? My other recommendations are regarding presentation and readability: before any final submission, bring your paper into alignment with your assigned style guide, and make sure all titles are properly italicized, formatting that helps the reader understand what type of work is being discussed."
