why did Dante most likely choose to write his views on Christianity in an indirect manner when he wrote the Divine Comedy?

The comedy as a genre sticks to literary conventions. It starts from adverse situations to a happy or favorable ending. The fact Dante's Divine Comedy begins in hell makes the text secular, or profane. The church in those times was punitive with that type of texts. As a conjecture it can be said that the writer chose to write his views on Christianity in an indirect manner out of fear for negative consequences against him and a way of protection.

Most likely because it was a comedy and he was joking about but if he talked about maybe(these are just guesses) that he is a Christian and didn't want to say anything mean or hurtful cause in the end then he would only be hurting himself or that he didn't want to be clobbered by the Christian because Christians have killed because of there religion just look at the crusades on the soldiers Way they saw Jews and assassinated them because they believed all the Jews were at fault for Jesus's death.

Answer the following questions as you analyze the structure of Mandela’s speech. What is the purpose of Mandela’s speech? How do
kirza4 [7]

The purpose of Mandela's speech was not simply to address the nation as their new president and give gratitude to those who put him there but instead to make a statement that South Africa was going to make immense changes and unify to show the world what the nation could truly do in order to become a land of hope. There are a few purposes to this speech, one being to unify the nation of south Africa by bringing the blacks and the whites together. The speech was also used to motivate and inspire the people of South Africa. I know this because I've studied Mandela's life in one of my subjects at school.

The audience for this speech was the people of South Africa. He addresses every one he possibly can to broaden his audience so that every South African hears his message.

Nelson Mandela

"I stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you, the people."

Mandela repeats the word negotiations as he wants to encourage and push for more negotiations - a thing that will bring them closer to freedom.
