Dante: Let’s wait for some next passersby so that we can ask them some directions
Dante and Virgil arrive at the second terrace which is the terrace of Envy. Dante notices that there seem to be no unusual sculptures, and the rock is an unusual bluish black color.
Virgil: No, let’s just use a natural compass, the sun
Virgil whisper a prayer to the sun to guide them safely. Virgil directs Dante’s attention towards the path in front of them, where a crowd of souls sits. When Dante opens his eyes, he notices they are dressed in black and blue matching the colour of the stone in this terrace.
DANTE: crying poor guys. they are blind and their eyelids have been shut using iron sight it reminded me of the blind begging. It’s rude for us to pass through the midst of the Envious without being seen.
VIRGIL: I’m quite vexed, but okay I will allow you to say what you want to the envious souls
SAPIA: I am Sapia, I often received more enjoyment from the misfortune of others than my own good fortune I was extremely envious of those in power Who are you? Why are you alive? Why are you here?
DANTE asks if anyone there is Italian.Dante recommends that he'll be ableto assist his fellow men.. One soul answers rather impudently, correcting Dante. Who are you?
