L'enfer (2 of 2) by Dante Alighieri
"L'enfer (2 of 2)" by Dante Alighieri is the second part of Inferno, written in the 14th century. Guided by the Roman poet Virgil, Dante descends through the nine concentric circles of Hell, each containing souls punished eternally for their sins. The torments grow increasingly severe as they approach Earth's center, where Satan dwells in bondage. Each punishment mirrors the crime committed in life—a poetic justice called contrapasso. This allegorical journey represents
the soul's recognition and rejection of sin on its path toward God. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
