Dante's Inferno

Book • 1964

Dante Alighieri

Charles Eliot Norton

Inferno is the first part of Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy.

It narrates Dante's fictional journey through the nine circles of Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil.

The poem is an allegory representing the soul's journey towards God, starting with the recognition and rejection of sin.

Hell is depicted as a realm of those who have rejected spiritual values, with punishments fitting the sins committed.

The journey is a spiritual rescue mission initiated by Beatrice, who represents divine revelation and guides Dante through his spiritual growth and eventual readiness to leave sin behind.
