    In the Inferno, Dante takes us on a journey through the different levels of Hell guided by, ancient Roman poet, Virgil who enlightens Dante on the way. Through contrapassos, which literally translates to counter-punishment, Dante unpacks the punishment that sinners undergo. At the start of canto III, an inscription above the gates of hell reads “Justice moved my high maker, in power divine, wisdom supreme, love primal” (Canto III, 4-6). The interpretation is that God, the divine, created Hell on the principles of justice and primal love. Originally, this does not sit well with Dante, he battles with the justification of the contrapasso and lacks the understanding of how they demonstrate God’s love.…

    Dante’s Inferno from The Divine Comedy is written about his own life, and the journey he takes to find a sense of redemption through his own art and philosophy. It begins when Dante is halfway through his life and, he has lost his way. Not only in his mind, but he now found himself traveling through the dark woods, “Midway along the journey of life, I woke to find myself in a dark wood, astray from the straight path” (Cantos I, 1-3), and the influences from religious figures in his life. When Dante speaks of having strayed from the right path, the reader should not assume that Dante has committed a crime. But instead, we start to see he has strayed away from what has always been expected of him and the strict medieval Catholic religion and…

    Desire: that feeling or emotion which is directed to the attainment or possession of some object from which pleasure or satisfaction is expected (OED). Boethius writes in his Consolation of Philosophy that the human person is left unsatisfied by false goods and is guided by Lady Philosophy to recognize the ultimate good to satisfy his desire. Dante places himself as a pilgrim in the Divine Comedy by using descriptive imagery of the contrapasso to demonstrate the effect that straying to sin can have on oneself, and he is guided by Virgil and Beatrice to obtain satisfaction in paradise. Both authors describe their exitus et reditus to God, but that is ultimately guided through their respective Muses to find that yearning for a life…

    In the Inferno of Dante, which depicts an allegorical journey through Hell, Dante is guided by Virgil through each canto of sins. As Dante travels through the levels of Hell, parallels between the physical and the spiritual are made. Dante parallels his physical journey into the Inferno with his spiritual journey into the individual. The further Dante travels in Hell is like one getting deeper and lost in his own mind. Desire and lack of the knowledge of truth consumes and destroys us so that we get lost in self and, according to Dante, we stray from God which causes us to lose ourselves, and to get out of such inward focus one must face the truth and become aware of the sins that harm us.…
