Comparing the Struggle in Dante’s Inferno and Book VI of The Aeneid

The sixth part of Hell's battle in Dante's hell and Anne's Hell has its own history. For Dante, the structure and theme of Hell in Hell begin with Roman epic tradition and its advocate poet Virgil. By deeply depicting the characteristics of hell in the sixth book of Aneid, Dante brought a magnificent tradition to the medieval world and confirmed his debt to Virgil's poetry. In addition, he led the pilgrim Dante who did not know hell through his own historical model, so Virgil became the central figure of hell.

Most of Dante 's Inferno is mere extension of Virgil' s Aeneid 's book (VI - The Underworld). Although most of Dante's hell is ingenious, he seems to use it as a part extracted from Aeneid, based on Aeneid, but he changed carefully for his purpose and belief. By pursuing his Christian view of the posthumous world, Dante creates a theoretically visually different world of aliens but still very similar to the underworld of Virgil. Of course, Dante built his hell to adapt to theology and doctrine of his Christian religion, but he still used Aeneid as his foundation. Therefore, Dante uses Virgil 's Aeneid to create inspiration and tools, to portray the Christian world and to represent the concept of posterity justice for one' s actions in life.

The requirement of Dante's hell is understood as the climax of a series of visits to the underworld in the ancient epic tradition. The most direct precedent for Dante is that Aeneas saw his father traveling to Hades, as Virgil mentioned in Ineid's Volume 6. The voyage of Aeneas mimicked the encounter with the shadow of Hades of Odysseus in volume 11 of Odyssey. The magnificent quest in each model is directed to a visit to the deceased's world in various ways, it is a different opinion of its central climax. However, Dante integrated it into the overall framework of the entire poem. From the beginning to the end, Dante's poem represents a journey out of the grave world. In this regard, Dante's hell is actually thought to reveal mainly that the extension of the theme of ancient epic, or the extension of the hero to the "underground world" exceeds the limit of his fate It is the whole sacred comedy. death
