This paper is an analysis of the poem "Inferno" by Dante Alighieri. The author discusses the comedy in 'Inferno" and the
importance of its style of writing and use of language for the times it was written in. From the paper: "When a man steps up to construct a work of art, they do it for a plethora of ideas. These can be either to change viewpoints, express personal ideas, or insure their name in the years to come. Yet the creator cannot simply be the only one to make a work of art one of
importance. It must include the passion of the times and the eagerness for something new and vivacious. To break
traditions from the past is to set traditions for the future. Dante Alighieri created a poem in the 1200's that Florentines and the world had never conceived up."
