In the initial stage of the poem Divine Comedy, written by Dante deals with the journey that is destined towards God. This poem suggests that the journey that was intended to take Dante to Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. Despite being short the poem is very complex3 in nature as the language that is used by Dante is very hard and this acts as the fact that the understanding of the poem gets accomplished and this is the sole reason that the management of the understanding of the poem is affected in a negative manner.

In the initial phase it is seen that Dante starts going downwards. He keeps on going downwards and reaches hell, leading to the aspect that the management of the project commencement will get processed with the help of improper redemption of the project management and this is the sole reason that the transformation of the poem is well understood by the readers of the poem. After trying to visit god from the soil that is beneath, Dante reaches the end of mountain. The plot that is present in the poem is very different and this is the main reason that this poem is so well acclaimed and this is the main reason that the poem has been very popular among the readers. Inferno is considered to be one of the most important part of the poem. Inferno begins with Dante is in the middle of his life and has been lost in the woods but he was unable to climb up the woods. During his trial he claims to meet the Virgil who was to lead him to salvation. Virgil tells Dante that he must go through hell in order to reach God. Dante seems to be frightened. Despite the fact that Dante got frightened, he also got encouraged by the thought that Beatrice will be enacting as his guide.

Virgil and Dante are found in the space outside hell, where the spirits were neutral in nature. Dante and Virgil faces an earth quake which leads to the fact that the Dante falls senseless and on gaining sense he found himself in Limbo. In side Limbo, Dante found people who were non-Christians. Dante was quite happy to see that he was well recognized there as a classical poet. Dante is seen speaking to spirits regarding their life and after that it was seen that Dante fainted after hearing the grief’s that the other members had in their life. They are seen to suffer from the consequences that they had committed and the theory was termed as the contrapasso. It is also stated that hell is structured in an upside down manner and the hell is diversified and compartmented as circles. With the increase in the number of circles, the main aspect that is taken into consideration is that as per the increase in the number of the ring the intensity of Satanism increases.

After understanding the way hell is managed, Virgil and Dante visits Parugatorio. In this site they sees that the pennants were serving their duties of sin as per the projection of individual aspect. It was also identified that Parugatorio looked like mountains and was compartmentalized in several layers. The layers included 7 deadly sins and which included deadly sins of pride, envy, wrath, sloth, covetousness, gluttony, and lust.

Cntrapasso was still existent and the punishment that was provided to the pennants made them holy and helped them to enter heaven. During serving their punishment, they were chanting god’s name and even requested Dante to tell people of earth to pray so that their will not be any prosecution of their souls in a problematic situation. Beyond the 7^th circle Dante is seen to be alone as Virgil disappears.     

Virgil was unable to enter heaven as he was a pagan. Beatrice was his next guide and he rises towards heaven. He found heaven to be compartmented in spheres and earth being the center of entire system. He then understood that despite their were community, love and bliss was a constant aspect and Dante evokes the images of light that are beyond the feasible experience of human and that was the vision that Dante had regarding God

Lines that are impressive are as follows: -

Then was the fear a little quieted

That in my heart’s lake had endured throughout 6

The night, which I had passed so piteously

And even as he, who, with distressful breath,

Forth issued from the sea upon the shore,

Turns to the water perilous and gazes;

So did my soul, that still was fleeing onward,

Turn itself back to re-behold the pass

Which never yet a living person left. 7

After my weary body I had rested,

The way resumed I on the desert slope,

So that the firm foot ever was the lower. 8
