How is "The Divine Comedy" an allegory?
Can you give me an example of how Dante uses allegory in "The Divine Comedy"?
Sure. One example is the representation of the various circles of Hell in the Inferno. Each circle represents a different sin, and the punishments suffered by the souls within are meant to reflect the severity and nature of the sin. This serves as an allegory for the consequences of one's actions in life and their ultimate fate in the afterlife.
