Levels of Eternal Punishment?

[Lady_Firehawk]

[major thread backtrack] Dante's Inferno was actually written as somewhat of a political statement... he used the Inferno as a platform to condemn some people he REALLY disliked. But since most people don't know much about Italian politics during his time, we somewhat lose that meaning and look at the more literal side of it. On the flip side, he used Paradiso to glorify those he agreed with politically... anyhoo, here's a link for your perusal-- slightly off-topic but still interesting, seeing as someone had mentioned Dante before.

A lot of works are written for personal gain, so we must always discern.
