        <description><![CDATA[Here are the levels:
Level 1) Limbo: a peaceful and sad place, a place of unbaptised, non Christian souls.
Level 2) The level of the lustful. Strong winds violently blow their souls to and fro for eternity.
Level 3) The level of the glutton. There is constant cold, heavy, filthy rain. A great and ugly dog, Cerebus, bites at the sinners in the storm.
Level 4) Here, near the river Styx, the greedy and insatiable roll great weights against each...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The notion that lies behind the Inferno is a spiritual one predicated on the idea of an exploration of one's sense of religious devotion.  Whether this is real or not is dependent on the point of view of the reader.  What is valid and quite verifiable is that Dante used real characters featured throughout his journey of hell.  He criticized Florentine politicans who were corrupt and lacked the vision of governing that took into account...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Let me give an overview of the purpose of Dante's Inferno, but please realize that analyzing this classic could be a book itself.  Inferno is the first part of Dante's Divine Comedy and is set in 1300.  The people in the story (which was actually a poem, but looks less like one now through its translations) were real people who were in the different levels of hell.  The story is obviously meant as an allegory and makes sense at a literal...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Dante's "Inferno" is a religious quest through the realm of hell.  Part of his Divine Comedy, Dante's Inferno is a journey through the levels of hell and the sins that place humans there.  The work itself is rather revolutionary in how it categorizes human sin.  Prior to the work, the perception of the element of vice was seen in a monolithic form:  It was bad.  Dante evokes a level of complexity in the perception of human evil in its...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think this depends on your religion.  Every religion has its own concept of hell.  Taking the case of the Roman Catholic religion, it views hell as a fiery place where one experiences torture, punishment, suffering, etc.
 
With regard to Dante's Inferno, I don't think there's any difference at all.  His concept of hell is also full of punishment and torture.  Depending on the person's sin, he/she (upon reaching hell) will experience the...]]></description>
