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.

List three examples of imagery regarding where Grendel's and his mother live.
Akimi4 [234]

Three examples of imagery regarding where Grendel and his mother are:

  • No one knows its bottom,
  • 'Hunted through the woods by packs of hounds
  • 'They live in secret places...'

<h3>What is imagery?</h3>

Imagery is a term that shows a vivid description of the events in a story. When describing the evil place where Grendel and his mother lived, the usage of terms that depict the place as not having a bottom and being in the woods clearly show that it was a strange and hideous place.

The place was also described as secret and this meant that it was not easily accessible or known to others. Grendel and his mother were not good people as seen in the story, Beowulf. This is also reflected in the description of the place where they lived.

The reader can imagine that the place where they stayed was weird. So, the phrases above connote a good depiction of imagery.
