Analyse
the content and structure of Dante's Inferno.
The
journey of Dante through Hell, in both its structure and content, symbolizes
the nature of sin and punishment. The structure of the book takes the reader
step by step through greater and greater sins. The content of the book shows
the different punishments for sins which are symbolic of the sins themselves;
it also, through its language, shows how Hell compares to life. This book was
written for Christians and deals heavily with religion, but can be interpreted
and learned from in an existential manner.
In the Inferno,
Hell is divided into nine circles. Dante progresses through each of these
circles in order. Each circle represents a greater sin and, therefore, a
greater punishment. This is symbolic of life. When you commit a sin or wrong
action, you are then led to a greater evil. The sins you commit grow and build;
you get away with an inch and then end up taking a mile.
At the onset of the journey, Dante and Virgil go through the first circle known as limbo. All the good people who were non-believers end up there.
