A parable is an account of a simulated or a fictitious event from which an important truth, a moral teaching or a religious principle are inferred by means of a comparison. Among the options that you have been given, I would contend that the most suitable one is the C: It portrays people realistically. The work does refer to biblical characters, it has religious connotations, and it features a particular rhyme scheme, but, as a parable, it aims at presenting information in a simple, understandable and convincing way, and it does so by portraying the various biblical, historical and mythological figures succinctly, accurately and realistically.

According to canto 33 what souls are punished in the 9th circle? what sins have they committed
bazaltina [42]
The souls of the Traitors and Benefactors are found in the 9th circle of Hell.
Three souls are prominent there for their Traitorous acts "<span>Each of Lucifer’s mouths holds a sinner—the three greatest sinners of human history, all Traitors to a Benefactor. In the center mouth dangles Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ. In the left and right mouths hang Brutus and Cassius, who murdered Julius Caesar in the Roman Senate. Brutus and Cassius appear with their heads out, but Judas is lodged headfirst; only his twitching legs protrude. The mouths chew their victims, constantly tearing the traitors to pieces but never killing them. Virgil tells Dante that they have now seen all of Hell and must leave at once."</span>

What does inferno indicate about medieval values?
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

That medieval values were religiously motivated.

At first sight I didn´t, but to a certain degree I agree.

Explanation:

Dante's Inferno is the first part of three: Inferno, Purgatory and Paradiso.

The inferno describes the voyage of Dante with his guide Virgil through the different levels of hell. As the two other parts and Inferno clearly indicate, the (moral) values of Dante's work - that reflects the medieval time in which he lived - concentrate on the cornerstone of religion: your acts on earth will have its consequences in heaven or, more likely, in hell.  The religious dogma´s of the Middle Ages are clearly represented in the absolute faith that, if you´re unfaithfull, morally unjust or, even worse, worship the wrong  religion,  you´re bound to suffer in after-life.

Dante's hierarchy of hell goes from lust via other sins to violence and ends surprisingly with betrayal. For example we find Judas and Brutus at the highest, or last level of hell. Fraud also scores very high on the sin-scale of Dante´s inferno. I was tempted to disagree with Dante but later I realised that betrayal can leave even deeper wounds than violence does.
