Inferno part 3 (Cantos 23 – 34) 3/9 In Canto 31 they meet the giants, wonderfully drawn by Botticelli. From a distance at first they seem like the towers of a castle. One of these is Nimrod who used his strength unwisely to build the tower of Babel. This resulted in the many languages humans speak which allows them to argue and quarrel with each other instead of finding a common tongue. Typically Dante just presents the situation with no comment other than making it clear how the miscreants suffer eternally. Canto 33 begins with the harrowing tale of Ugolino and his sons and finally in 34 the two, Dante and Virgil, escape from Hell in an extraordinary scene 'and behold again the stars'.
