Abstract
Of the many souls doomed to languish in Dante's hell as thorny trees in a black and pathless wood, none inspire more pity than those that tore themselves violently from their bodies in their youth. For we like to look back on adolescence as a time of unbounded serenity and think it tragic that a young person should die in despair. Yet since time immemorial suicide has periodically erupted into epidemics, from the maidens who flocked to hang themselves in ancient Miletus to the young men in blue coats and yellow vests who rushed to die in sympathy with the unfortunate Werther.
