![]() Dante’s Divine Comedy is a poem that describes the journey that Dante faces through the nine circles of hell. Since the dawn of time, humans have faced challenges to survival and as a result, have had to embrace the precarious questions that accompany such situations.Įarly depictions of the human condition and suffering can be found in Christian theology, iconography, and philosophy of the early 14 th century. There are many viewpoints on what hell looks like and yours may sound something along the lines of a seven-headed beast, a fiery pit of hellfire, souls being tortured in the underworld, and even perhaps your own personal room where you are forced to face your deepest darkest fears… Sounds like hell, does it not? Throughout human history, it has become almost second nature to attempt to ascribe meaning and define the core tenets of human existence encompassing life, death, tragedy, and unfathomable other-worldly occurrences.
