Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Based on the excerpt from Canto 3, which literary device is used to convey God’s power over Hell?"Justice incited my sublime Creator; Created me divine Omnipotence, The highest Wisdom and the primal Love.”

A	Euphemism
B	Imagery
C	Personification
D	Simile

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -In Canto III, Dante sets up the intellectual structure of Hell. Hell is the place for those who deliberately, intellectually, and consciously chose an evil way of life, whereas Paradise is a place of reward for those who consciously chose a righteous way of life.

Detailed explanation-2: -Paradox. This poem itself is a major paradox: Dante is trying to convey with words what by definition cannot be conveyed with words. The majesty of Heaven is so great that it cannot be communicated, and yet Dante is attempting to communicate it to the reader throughout Paradiso.

Detailed explanation-3: -To whom or what does “me” refer? The text at the opening of canto 3 is the text above the entry of Hell. The “me” refers to Hell. It is not a reported speech.

Detailed explanation-4: -Seeing, hearing, and touching are the senses that are involved in the opening of Canto 3. Acheron is the name of the river. Charon’s ferry takes them across the river and an earthquake strikes the earth with fire and wind.
