Dante Alighieri's Inferno is the first part of the 14th-century epic poem The Divine Comedy, is an allegorical journey through the afterlife, mapping the soul's recognition and rejection of sin. Written in the vernacular Italian rather than Latin, it portrays Hell as a descending, funnel-shaped abyss located within the Earth, structured around the idea of divine justice where punishments correspond symbolically to the sins committed in life.
