Dante’s World View According to the Inferno

Dante’s Inferno brings sin a light and just punishment, and Dante himself has this view for the world and the sins that proceed in it. When Dantes the Peregrine dares to descend into Hell, he visits one sin and another due punishment. The levels of hell or the punishments that exist in it represent the special worldviews that Dante held and/or presented in his poem The Incisive Vestibule and The One-Limbo Circle for those who are not baptized and honest. pagans Dante also uses some structures and ironies in his description of Hell, such as the desire to punish and the specific names of the sections in the Inferno. This verse-by-verse combination with note about the true adversaries and history of Dan, show his perspective on life, sin , and a just punishment.

The first level of Hell that Dante enters is the Vestibule. This is the “foyer” to Hell where dangerous men and angels are held. Neither heaven nor hell wants them, because they chose no side in life, and therefore they are not accepted by either side in death. Sinners are punished here that they can never really die, living in blindness, and crying out their distress in the darkness, because the world will not remember them, and they will not recognize virtues in heaven and in hell (89-91). . Dante represents the punishment of fluctuating souls according to what seems to be a punishment for some time extremity. One might believe that Dantes knew well that there were many such; they only seem to choose a side, but at the moment of their own hope in danger they turn from the side which is in them. in no part but their own. Dantes clearly cursed these types of people and believed that their punishment was greater than that of the average rational person of the time.

When Dantes Peregrine first sees the multitude of bystanders on the banks of the river, which divides the vestibule from the innermost circles of hell, he longs for a boat to come and take them to execution, rather than attempt it. so that Dantes seemed to escape. But even more than I want to escape, I believe that Dante did not expect at least some sadness or anxiety, but he found desire and impatience. He finds anxiety, but is anxious to await punishment, not fearful (91-93). In this, it is credible that Dantes uses irony to send a message to those he knows and knows about pursuing sin and self-contradictions, and also to reinforce the justice of God, which permeates his entire Comedy. This irony eagerly lacks punishment, just as those who eagerly pursue their own sins in life are a “slap in the face” to all the equals of the Giver who act in this way.

The first circle of hell is Limbo. Hence it is that “non-baptized and virtuous pagans are sent”; because of God’s justice they cannot go to heaven, since they have not been baptized or have never known Christ, and so must be put in Hell. But their punishments are almost non-existent. The only pain for them is that they have to live without the hope of reaching Paradise. This is also the circle which the Greek poets, whom Dante looked up to, inhabit (97-102). It seems that if Dantes could have his way, men and women of understanding would have been taken to paradise in this circle, but his religion would be called otherwise, so he makes the best of what many say. Dantes affected these figures and the observance of the laws of his religion well and with execution. Dantes the Poet and Dantes the Pilgrim worshiped the figures living within the castle of Limbona, and from their praise, in spite of their apparent condemnation, it can be gathered that Dantes, as he himself sees it, is more worthy of paradise. than others. His reverence is also reflected in the selection of the poet, who is the ruler and teacher throughout Inferno, Virgil. His entire style of writing could also be seen as a tribute to those ancient poets. >Ancient worlds. In canto eighteen there is a diagram of the Lower Hell. One step out of ten, with the exception of sorcery, seems to describe Dante’s contemporaries and the evils of his time in Florence (232). And in canto twenty-four, Dantes Peregrine and Virgil find the shadow of Vanni Fucci, and this shadow also makes a prophecy about Florence and the lawsuit that will come to it (288-293). It can be said that Dante-Poet’s entire work is directed at Florence and the evils that inhabited it. Those in Dante’s Florence exile may be seen as the main targets of Inferno, but in fact Dante’s work had permeated it. moreover, all the Florentines and all Italy and other places were filled with the same spirit with which they were. Inferno gives Dante a “world view”, and although Inferno was designed or written by Florentines, there was a criticism of all human evils.
