Domenico Di Michelino 's Divine Comedy

Dante Alighieri, exiled in Italy during the times of political and corrupted wrote an epic poem to reflect his upon his Catholic beliefs called The Inferno. In the story, Alighieri creates a protagonist named Dante, which character is named after himself. Yet, in the story Dante travels through Hell and is accompanied by his guide, Virgil, and meets various sinners. However, in the poem, Dante every so often would exhibit compassion or hostility using imagery, or diction, or both to different sinners, such as Ciacco the Hog, Bocca, and Count Ugolino.

Dante’s divine comedy focuses on the journey of a Pilgrim by the name of Dante from Italy in which he travels through the circles of Hell, the terraces of Purgatory and the spheres of Paradise. Dante the Pilgrim has lived his life the wrong way, in a way that goes against how God would live life and through this journey the pilgrim hopes to find a way to return to the path he was once on: the right path. Throughout his journey he encounters numerous souls who have either been placed in Hell, in Purgatory or in Paradise. At first the Pilgrim felt sympathy and compassion towards the souls for the punishments they had to endure but those feelings soon went away as he continued on. He no longer felt sympathy or compassion but instead felt merciless and hatred towards the souls. It then becomes apparent that Dante the Pilgrim changed as a human being because the way he saw others changed, as well as how he saw life.

Born and raised in Florence during periods of political instability and fragmentation, Dante Alighieri, a devoted White Guelph and poet, became very familiar with the conflicts rising between the Guelphs and the Ghibellines––and between the Blacks and Whites. When the Blacks eventually overpowered the Whites, Alighieri was exiled and wrote The Inferno, in which he directly described the politics of his life and pressed on the topics of sin, treachery, and loyalty, while mentioning specific Florentine people he respected and others who, he felt, were deserving of harsh punishments because of their actions throughout their lives. In this epic poem, Alighieri writes himself as the main protagonist, Dante, in describing his journey through the nine circles of Hell, while meeting several sinners and witnessing their tormenting punishments along the way. When Dante encounters both loyal and traitorous Florentines, Alighieri uses diction, imagery, and actions to express compassion to three Sodomites––Jacopo Rusticucci, Guido Guerra, and Tegghiaio Aldobrandi––and Farinata Degli Uberti, and hostility to Bocca Degli Abati, revealing that Alighieri’s amount of sympathy and malevolence towards the sinners depended on their loyalty or betrayal to Florence.

Dante Alighieri’s epic poem, “The Inferno,” is a literary work of art that hints at his religious upbringing and political ideology in Florence, Italy during the 1300’s. Although the protagonist is Dante, himself, the character is in many ways different from the writer and poet. The reader can see the influences of earlier poets and writers in The Inferno, specifically the work of Virgil, The Aeneid, and the influence of Augustine’s Confessions. Dante uses Virgil as his guide through the Underworld, paying homage to the importance of earlier literary masterpieces. However, the poem also may suggest that Dante is mocking Virgil because of the reactions between the two characters. The poem relates to Confessions as both show the spiritual struggle between Earthly wants and desires against the need for Heavenly Salvation.
