Dante wrote Inferno in order to provide his audience with his controversial opinions depicting the unbalance of religious power within the church. The Inferno at an entertainment level depicts a man and his journey through the nine circles of hell. However, the Inferno subliminally depicts the recognition and rejection of sin by church representatives and leaders. In my opinion, I see the Inferno as a rant, of some sort, towards the actions and dismissal of sin by church representatives, within his time. At that point in time, many representatives were either taking advantage of their power, or disregarding the actions of others who have sinned rather than doing something about it. This must've been a struggle for those surrounding the church
