223 Words1 Pages
The Divine comedy, Dante the poet relates to Dante the pilgrim, by the memories of Dante the pilgrim, hence as the poet writes, he is remembering what the pilgrim felt throughout his journey to hell. Dante’s writing is strongly influenced by his actual knowledge and memories from the catholic church. Through the deed of memory, Dante uses what he knows and remembers from his Christian faith, therefore he uses this same knowledge as a metaphor to describe his experience as he enters the doors of The Inferno, even more as he walks through the bowels of hell. Throughout the journey, Dante applies his catholic believes and teachings to categorize the condemned according to the solemnity of the sin along with the asperity from the catholic faith.
