The video kinda of explain themselves.... but if you insist.
Dante alighieri: the divine comedy Dante alighieri is an Italian poet who was born in 1265 and is the author of the famous poem "the Divine Comedy". if you were to read the poem, the story is divided into sections called cantos. these cantos are paragraphs that tell a story(fictional) of Dante's journey through 3 different stages of existence in his life. These would be: -the inferno -Purgatory -paradise
These 3 stages are present in the Time line of man since the fall of the original man from Eden(biblical reference), and has constantly been of much debate as well as having been present in different studies of work. The most famous of these works would be the christian "Bible". These stories all have common themes in which man has fallen from a state of well being to confusion and suffering, of which we tend to try to escape through redemption. hence the 3 stages of the story. The story of Dante's travel through these levels of the human start with him wondering in the forest(subconscious mind) after the death of his beloved. after wandering through the forest he comes across the base of a mountain and is confronted by 3 different beasts representing different struggles or sin of man. Being unworthy he turns away back into the forest. At this point Dante is confronted by a spirit of a former poet of which Dante was familiar with his work. This spirit becomes a guide and takes Dante to the gates of hell where they descend and start their journey through "The Inferno". So to sum up this portion Dante is traveling in the sub conscious mind with the intention of redemption and gains help from a spirit of whom saw him struggling with his turmoil in life. To help Dante, the spirit must show Dante other human souls of which exists in other forms of material turmoil to better help him understand his own crisis so he may return to the hill(purgatory) and climb his way to paradise. The Inferno- This portion of the story tells of Dante's travel through different stages of hell or "the inferno". Hell has been divided into sections for each of the 7 deadly sin's: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. The inferno is full of beings being tormented for different severity of the sin that they committed. These beings have different demons in charge of each level of hell with Lucifer at the worst and lowest level of hell, of which happens to be in the center of earth(dense material). After Dante witnesses these levels, and talks to many former people of whom he used to know, Dante comes out of the bottom of hell back to the surface of earth where he rests for a short period in limbo before starting his climb through purgatory. As a conclusion to this part of the story, if we take the lowest level and most evil as the center of earth, it can be concluded that the journey to the depths would be an equivalent of Adam's(original man)fall from god(paradise) into sin or materiel existence of man. It should be noted that Adam fell into the material existence from eating of the "tree of knowledge of good and evil" after being told not to, but being tempted by Lucifer Adam and eve fell too earth into Lucifer's domain. Purgatory: Now this portion of the "Divine Comedy" is the start of Dante's redemption to paradise. He must now climb up the 7 deadly sins instead of down into the inferno too receive earthly paradise and then later heaven.
I have actually ran out of time ATM but ill finish up on my take of the divine comedy and correlation to life, as well as a comparison to the bible.
