<span>1) In 'Inferno' as well as in the rest of 'Divine Comedy', Dante included a lot of elements from Bible and 'The Aeneid' by Vergil. Due to the lots of biblical elements this story can be defined as Biblical fiction and the depiction and meaning of Hell is a direct proof of this fact. Dante made a crossover of biblical and Vergilic elements describing his own personality in both allusional sacred way. </span>

2) Dante included such allusions because he wanted to represent the perception of human evil in its categorization into different realms. He categorized sins and described them gradually by their level of complexity showing that people tend to measure everything even sins that can lead them to the journey to the Hell.

Enjambment - the sentences do not finish with the end of the line.

Reread the following quote from paragraph 10: “He really thought I liked it here, that I did not care for my freedom.” How does
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

This quote contributes to the idea that doctor's begin thinking that she liked being there in isolation than caring for her freedom.

Explanation:

"Letter from Mary Mallon" On Being Typhoid Mary" is a letter written by Mary to her lawyer informing him about his treatment in quarantine. Mary Mallon was an asymptomatic carrier of typhoid who spread the infection to the houses where she cooked, of which some died.

Doctor's then kept her in quarantine on an island where she was not given proper medical treatment. She became a mere observational subject to them.

The inclusion of the quote in paragraph 10 contributes to the idea that the doctor's begin thinking that she loved being there, in isolation. This quote is ironic because Mary did want to get free but she was declined freedom. And develops the idea how poorly she was being treated there against her will.
