It can be stated that the central purpose of The Divine Comedy is to highlight human depravity and the destructive nature of sin on humanity and society. This means also that the Divine Comedy is a didactic poem in the broadest and deepest sense. Choose one short passage in The Inferno that you believe focuses on spiritual development. Explain the moral message found in the passage. In one well developed paragraph between 150-250 words only.
