Because he died
|
Detailed explanation-1: -After banishment from his hometown Florence, Italy due to the political group “the Black-Guelphs” taking over, Dante is forced to partake on a horrendous journey through Hell. It is the only way he can reach his ultimate goal of eternal unity with God.
Detailed explanation-2: -He does this because his poem’s spiritual pattern is not classical but Christian: Dante’s journey to Hell represents the spiritual act of dying to the world, and hence it coincides with the season of Christ’s own death.
Detailed explanation-3: -The pilgrim Dante begins his journey by entering the “Inferno.” The journey symbolizes taking a hard look at the reality of sin, and taking ownership of your sinfulness. It’s painful and difficult, but there can be no spiritual progress without self-knowledge and accountability.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Inferno ends with the promise that human beings, having left sin behind, may experience divine truth and peace again.
