Dante's poem, the Divine Comedy written in the 14th-century, reflect Christian beliefs in the Middle Ages in many ways:
1. Life after death - Dante in his sickbed went to hell and saw it for himself in first person with a Roman poet, Virgil. They saw how the dead went back to life in hell. They suffered there, they were tortured there, and they were executed there but since they don't die anymore, the process is in perpetuity.
2. Purgatory, hell, and heaven - Dante, in his sickbed travelled to hell, purgatory, and later heaven before he came back to his senses.
3. satan, devils, angels, saints, and God - Dante saw devils in his travel to hell. At the very bottom of hell, he saw the frozen satan. In his way to heaven, he saw the saints. Later, he saw God as three equally sized circles symbolizing the Father Son and Holy Spirit.

Answer:
1. International - 2. Political conflict - 3. The Enlightenment - 4. Social antagonisms - 5. Ineffective ruler - 6. Economic hardship
Explanation:
International: struggle for hegemony and Empire outstrips the fiscal resources of the state
- Political conflict: conflict between the Monarchy and the nobility over the “reform” of the tax system led to paralysis and bankruptcy
- The Enlightenment: impulse for reform intensifies political conflicts; reinforces traditional aristocratic constitutionalism, one variant of which was laid out in Montequieu’s Spirit of the Laws; introduces new notions of good government, the most radical being popular sovereignty, as in Rousseau’s Social Contract [1762]; the attack on the regime and privileged class by the Literary Underground of “Grub Street;” the broadening influence of public opinion.
- Social antagonisms between two rising groups: the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie
- Ineffective ruler: Louis XVI
- Economic hardship, especially the agrarian crisis of 1788-89 generates popular discontent and disorders caused by food shortages.
