The Divine Comedy - Inferno

"The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born." - Matthew 26:24

Early in the spring of 1300, "midway along the road of our life," Dante is lost and alone in a dark, foreboding forest. To survive this ordeal, he must visit the three realms of the afterlife, beginning with Hell. Follow Dante's descent circle by circle through the eternal abode of lost souls, down to the pit of Hell at the center of the earth.

Part one features Dante's first voyage along with the Roman poet Virgil in one of the three canticas - their descent to Inferno (Hell).

This is part one slideshow storytelling I made on a shortened work of Dante Alighieri's Divina Commedia. I will add Purgatorio and Paradiso soon. Thank you for watching.

did dante alligeirri actually went to hell or was that his imagination?

[emmthreejonny]

It was a poem he wrote. Heavily inspired by the political climate at the time and an experience with unrequited love. Inferno and Purgatory criticizes the social issues that surrounded him. Paradiso was Dante's personal "view". A theology and his understanding of Christianity. It criticizes and questions the nature of people, society, religious and non-religious leaders. In a way the book was a moral awakening on medieval world plunge in chaos.

Basics laws of the universe we are not god we can't create but we do have the power to mold his domain however, to create one must destroy sadly just us living is a sin so do I ask or forgiveness that I live? Sorry god I lived on earth and decided against dying?!?!?

[devilboy683]

Don't know anyother... Desire itself could be a sin. Pride is the origin of sin it's why lucifer fell from heaven...from pride comes wrath,lust,greed,sloth,envy and gluttony... All sins we commit can fit into one of these... So if happiness=fulfillment=desire achieved=sin committed why are we as humans hardwired to reproduce, have emotions, get tired, havegoals.... In fact why do we desire at all for desire itself is sin. Basics laws of the universe we are not god we can't create but we do have

[devilboy683]

FortunatelyChristian has a good argument but so does jedi01sith and I agree with both of you my personal belief is best understood if I relate him to a king you don't agree with him your exiled or worse. I see him as a tyrant....he does not want you to be happy and he's proof in the form of a type of am equation: happiness comes from fulfillment, to achieve fulfillment one need a desire to fulfill. All desire is derived from an earthly(physical or material etc) plane becasue we as humans don't
