The Inferno is the first part of Italian poet Alighieri’s medieval epic, The Divine Comedy: a monument of world literature. Written in the 14th century, the poem’s form - terza rima, a circling pattern of interweaving triple rhymes - reflects its major theme: the wisdom, power, and love of the trinitarian Christian God. Over the course of The Inferno, Dante’s encounters in Hell provide personal and political critiques, sending warnings to his warring enemies back on Earth and forcing him to grapple with his own shortcomings.
