Dante’s Inferno
Dante Alighieri’s work, The Inferno, is a classic written in the 1300’s, which has become today’s Bible of Hell. This allegorical writing is connected by the theme of evil. In The American Heritage Dictionary, evil is defined as something that causes harm, misfortune or destruction, or something that is bad or wrong. Dante does understand the essential meaning of evil; however, he breaks up his view of evil into levels, which tells the reader that he believes that not all evil is the same, and each sin has a respective punishment. Although Dante’s interpretation is from the 1300s, his idea of evil is still manifest in today’s society.
