<br/><br/>Divine Comedy is a religious epic has a humanitarian symbolic nature as we know. It is composed by the great Italian poet Dante (1265-1331 AD). We cannot say how many years Dante has spent in composing this epic, which contains one hundred odes in three parts: Hell, Cleaner and Terrestrial and Celestial Paradise. Each part has a component of thirty-three anthems. It is unique in its artistic features. The theme is a journey to another world, where Dante describes the things cannot be seen in this world. He tries to make that unseen world near to our world through explaining the characters chosen from that world. In spite of the metaphysical nature of that world there is a real natural description, where Dante describes the real characters of the medieval ages, wars, beliefs and mistakes. It has a nature of self-description indicates that the poet dislikes the social imperfections.
