“Let it Go,” Dante’s Inferno Version (2014)

February 4, 2015 By Professor Elizabeth Coggeshall

Let it Go

As part of a short film, “Chauncy Cobra and the Writing on the Wall,” students wrote and performed a parody of “Let it Go” from Disney’s Frozen. In the song, Dante laments his time spent in Hell, begging Beatrice, “Let me go!”
