Dante's Divine Comedy is considered to be a comedy and not a tragedy for several reasons. The most important one is that it ends happily - the protagonist goes through Hell (Inferno), Purgatory (Purgatorio), and finally comes into Heaven (Paradiso) in the end. Tragedies are characterized by tragic and sad endings - usually with some characters dying. This is not the case in Divine Comedy - the protagonist manages to enter Heaven and finally understand the meaning of life. 
Additionally, Dante named his work Comedy in order to show everyone that comedies don't have to be written using low style only (tragedies were always considered something elitist, using high style difficult to understand). He wrote Divine Comedy using elevated, sophisticated language in order to show it can be done.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Renaissance describes the European cultural epoch in the period of upheaval from the Middle Ages to modern times in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was characterized by an effort to revive the cultural achievements of ancient Greece and Rome. Starting from the cities of northern Italy, the artists and scholars of the Renaissance influenced the countries north of the Alps with their innovative painting, architecture, sculpture, literature and philosophy, albeit in different ways.

Europe had already looked back to antiquity in the Middle Ages, but important ancient texts were only rediscovered and made accessible in the late Middle Ages. The ancient state was studied in Renaissance humanism.

During the Renaissance, re-explored ancient art, literature, philosophy and everyday life began to be re-examined. Renaissance culture perceived itself as a rebirth of ancient culture, which does not mean, however, that the development of Renaissance human thought was limited to the reminder of the old.  The era was marked by a move away from religion-centered values ​​towards a people-centered worldview. It was characteristic to discuss and strive for beauty. In the past, the criteria for the goodness of art had been based on what was right, and that right was superior to man.
