Question

What does the Inferno show about Dante's point of view on good and evil? In his imagination, are the two forces evenly matched, or is one side stronger?

Answer 1

Dante's view of hell was reflected throughout his account where he claims to have seen all these things described in his work. On the balance of good and evil, both are matched, both for good and for evil. On the good, it is the justice that causes each individual to obtain his reward of his works and the bad thing is reflected in the evil of the man and its consequences. However, horror and terror focuses more on the story and that transmits meanings of evil.
