What is an allegory? Explain in what sense Dante’s Inferno can be termed an allegory.
An allegory is a literary device where a poem or story has a
hidden religious or political meaning hiding just under the surface. People,
places, things, and even the plot all contribute to the allegory. And, it runs
through the entire piece, not just a chapter or verse. In Dante’s Inferno many allegorical connections exist. These phenomenon
connections made the text mean something more than just going through
hell. The entire going through hell is
like going through life, since it even relates to salvation. In hell as it is
in real life there are circles to which one must go through if one becomes part
of Satan’s world. Hell exists to punish sin, and the relevance of hell’s
specific punishments to testify the divine perfection that all sinners violate.
Dante sees that the sinners go through stages in hell depending on their sins.
It is like another life since the fact that if when one is alive and we do not
believe in something one will be in that specific circle of hell because to God
one must deserve what was believed at first.
