Divine Comedy and Dante

Dante Alighieris The betoken Comedy is a poem written in first soul that tells of Dantes altered-ego pilgrimage through the three realms of death, nut house, Purgatory, and promised land while laborious to reach spiritual maturity and an understanding of immortals get along while attaining salvation. Dante creates an imaginative correspondence between a souls sin on Earth and the punishment atomic number 53 receives in stone pit. In the middle of the journey of our life I came to myself in a unyielding wood w present the straightway was lost. (Canto I, pg. 11). Throughout The Divine Comedy, this is the only course credit Dante, in my opinion, is referring to that dark place we all find ourselves in at some point in judgment of conviction in our have got life. I, as Dantes Pilgrim, have found myself in this dark place or dark wood once I lost sight of the shell racecourse or where the straightway was lost that I was travelling (life). But, it was during this time that I was lost that I not only found myself, further most importantly, I found my soul.I found the straightway path to my soul while in the dark wood. It is at this dark place or dark wood, that mavin begins not only to search for answers to atomic number 53s sin provided to seek answers to the questions of the total and mind. It is here, of the straightway lost, where the heart and mind no longer struggle for right vs. wrong but to harvest peace. Peace within ones soul. The peace of ones soul is born once the heart and mind go away one and with this peace one will continue to search for Gods salvation just as Dantes Pilgrim. The path to paradise begins in Hell. (Dante The Divine Comedy. When Dante enters Hell on Good Friday, he reads the interest posted above the gates of Hell as he is well-nigh to enter (Canto III, line 9) Abandon all hope ye who enter here. To leave Hell, Dante and his self-ego, must go through all clubhouse circles of Hell, the deeper the circle, the mo re(prenominal) grave the sin and the sins punishment. The gravest punishment is that no one cares nor will help another while in Hell.Dante recognizes that those in Hell have chosen to be in Hell by their own choice but most importantly Dante learns to recognize and detest pieces sinful nature and the power of evil, and the need to guard against it. Hell has no hope. At times, it seems, more often than enough, that both the world and fraternity are becoming increasingly hopeless. To put down hope is to lose life. To lose life is to gain Hell.Living is caring and hoping for the well being of composition for today and for days to follow. In the Divine Comedy, to leave Hell, one must go through nine circles of Hell. But, for us, are the nine circles of hell the nine hours in the day that we inject ourselves into society? At the end of every(prenominal) day, do we journey through nine circles of Hell? Do we chuck up the sponge all hope as we enter the day? The path to Paradise beg ins in Hell. If this is to be true, then tomorrow may I alert in Paradise.
