Even though Dante's Inferno is based on Christian beliefs, why is the Inferno not necessarily a reflection on all Christianity?

English

Answer:

Because the ideas about hell described by Dante were based on the biblical text, which is the main source of Christian knowledge.

Explanation:

Dante was more inspired by Greco-Roman myths to describe hell in his narrative, than biblical texts. For this reason, many believe that "Dante's hell" is not necessarily a reflection on Christianity, but rather on the way the civilization of the Middle Ages thought about sin and the way this thought was influenced by the Greeks and Romans.

Biblical hell, for example, is not divided into circles, is not composed of flames and does not stay underground as Dante presents it, but the medieval imaginary and Greco-Roman legends approach hell in this way.

Match the words from Maya Angelou’s poem "Caged Bird" to their implied meanings.
Alborosie
The caged bird is the African American, who is held in a sub-free state by the whites. The sky is freedom, for a bird, flying is the freest thing there is. The free bird is the white American, who's never had to be a slave or seen as subhuman. The cage is the Jim Crow laws that subvert the stated "freedom" of blacks at that time. Singing is self expression, that is one of the only things that slavery can't take from a person. Hope this helps!
