This is a 5 page paper on Dante’s search for truth in “The Divine Comedy”. Dante’s “The Divine Comedy” tells of the central character’s journey through hell, purgatory and heaven. In hell, The Inferno, Dante is guided by Virgil whom shows him the sinners from earth and tells him of how they differentiate from those in purgatory. Dante’s questions about truth begin when he examines the sheer numbers of those in hell and continues until his revelation in heaven (Paradiso) at the end of the work. Acceptance of Dante’s well patterned universe however has been debated over the centuries as a possible explanation of the metaphysical nature of the universe. Dante insisted that his work not be taken as one of fiction and because of this many theologians applauded his explanation of a well ordered universe where man was punished directly for his sins. Others believe that the acceptance of Dante’s order of the universe is based on if man lives for his time on earth or if he lives for the life after. For those who live for today, man may either accept or deny Dante’s order or decide that man is not able to understand or should not understand the nature of the universe.
