Most would say this is because Lucifer was evil. According to Dante’s Inferno‚ the lowest level of Hell is treachery‚ and there is nothing The Devil is better than betrayal and deception. He betrayed God himself‚ when he had everything‚ he was the most beautiful angel‚ God’s favorite‚ but his

The relevance of Dante’s hell to contemporary society in the western world could be said to be visible from the very first Canto. Here Dante is lost and unable to find his way back to the right road. "Midway this way of life we’re bound upon‚ I wake to find myself in a dark wood" (Dante‚ 1949‚ p71). This could be said to be a representation of the psychological torment of many people who become depressed or unsure of their place in life. Many people are forced to go on a journey within themselves

Expect No Mercy What goes around comes around. When sinners reach hell they are forced to experience the counter-suffering of contrapasso. For each sin‚ Dante gives a specific punishment relating to that sin. Some of these sins include violence towards self‚ violence towards God‚ sorcery‚ and hypocrisy.

I feel the punishments Dante assigns to the crimes are appropriate. My personal belief is that heaven or hell isn’t a physical place you go to when

In Dante’s Inferno‚ Montaigne’s Essays‚ and Boccaccio’s Decameron‚ it seems that storytelling functions for entirely different purposes. Dante curiously prods for stories to add to his "notes" or remembrances of his trip to hell‚ making storytelling a method of entertainment in the depths of hell. Each of Montaigne’s stories are meant to leave his family and friends with an accurate memory of himself and his values‚ not an attempt to gain fame. The seven women and three men in Boccaccio’s work recount
