Dante Alighieri wrote The Divine Comedy in the early fourteenth century after being on the wrong side of a political argument and being exiled from Florence by Pope Boniface VIII. It is an epic poem which is divided into three parts that are: Inferno, Purgatory, and Paradise. In the first section, Inferno, the reader follows the protagonist, Dante, as Alighieri imagines what it would be like if he were forced to travel the circles of hell.
Alighieri‘s Inferno is an intricate commentary on the innate tendency to sin, the consequences and human emotions that follow, and man's search for redemption through God. Written in the first person perspective, characterized by the use of I, we, and our, this epic provides insight into how a man would act if thrust into hell and includes Dante‘s thoughts and observations.
Since 1896. 🔥

We know what happens in Hell.. But what about Purgatory Dante's Inferno revealed some titillating details about the punishments inflicted on sinners - but in a way, we already knew what happens to people in Hell. ⬇️
