“… In the hopes of providing Beatrice with as much agency as possible and reversing this unfortunate reversal of the original narrative arc, here is a remix of some clips from the trailer set to Beatrice’s speech via Virgil in Inferno II (verses 61-73). The audio is a reading by Lino Pertile from the Princeton Dante Project. And it was Professor Teodolinda Barolini’s concern over the game’s impact on the reception of Dante that sparked the remix in the first place.”    –Luke Rosenau
