Adventure Time, “Return to the Nightosphere” (2012)

February 15, 2015 By Professor Elizabeth Coggeshall

Adventure Time

Season 4, Episode 5 of Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time is set in the hellish “Nightosphere.” It alludes to Dante’s Inferno: its protagonists, Finn and Jake, find themselves there not knowing how they got there; they pass through an imposing gate to meet with the ruler of the Nightosphere; they meet a character rowing a boat over condemned souls.
