"The Descent into Hell: The second part of Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy" that which is known as the Inferno acts as a prime example of a pre-modern version of hell. In this hell are sinners of all kinds from all the centuries. The hell that Dante creates is not the same as the one we imagine today though Dante's vision has certainly shaped the one of the present. As the character Dante descends into hell he is witness to the afterlives of different kinds of sinners."More papers on The Descent Into Hell:
