In the Divine Comedy Dante personifies ____
A
Faith
B
The humanity
C
The reason
D
all three are correct
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -But Dante was also a humanist. He was concerned for humanity even beyond his theological borders, seeking to teach all people the path to virtue. Nowhere is this more clear than in the Inferno. He was the first, as far as we know, to place a cluster of avowedly non-Christians in limbo rather than damn them all to hell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dante was no humanist but his writings did begin to shift the focus on religious matters which had marked the medieval period towards a consideration of more earthly affairs with humanity at its centre.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the course of the poem, Dante appears as Dante Alighieri, with unique characteristics of man. But in this canto, he is still a symbol, the symbol of humanity lost in the wilderness of sin. Do you fancy to read The Divine Comedy?
