DANTE'S INFERNO SERIES

The Inferno details Dante’s journey through Hell, alongside his guide ancient Roman poet Virgil. Part of the 14th century epic poem, The Divine Comedy, Dante explores the eternal fates of villains of both historical & literary renown. It is through this that we can examine both the vices of human nature, and thus the ramifications of their subsequent tragedies.
