Detailed explanation-1: -Cacciaguida said to Dante, “God knows all about the existence and the nonexistence of all contingent things. God knows the past, the present, and the present. But this does not take away from free will. God exists outside of space and time, and God sees the past, the present, and the future all at the same time.
Detailed explanation-2: -In his epic poem known as the Divine Comedy, Dante creates a fictional version of himself who travels through the farthest reaches of hell (Inferno), purgatory (Purgatorio) and paradise (Paradiso).
Detailed explanation-3: -Dante began writing the Divine Comedy only after his expulsion from Florence, and it is as much an attempt to make sense of his estrangement from home (and his anger over the situation) as it is a spiritual journey to understand God. “Dante is lost in a dark wood, which signifies the errancy of his soul.
Detailed explanation-4: -Dante called the poem “Comedy” (the adjective “Divine” was added later, in the 16th century) because poems in the ancient world were classified as High ("Tragedy") or Low ("Comedy").
