Apart from Dante's writing of the Divine Comedy during the Middle Ages, Dante's Commedia is regarded a medieval epic owing to the dramatic representation of Christian life and death (Fiero, 2015). Those who were traitors were escorted by Dante to the last circle of Hell. Here they suffered for all eternity. Dante created a fictional universe in which his three major poems could exist side-by-side. The Divine Comedy was followed by The Inferno in which he described Hell as we know it today. Paradise was written later in 1320 after he had become famous because of The Inferno. In conclusion, The Divine Comedy is regarded as a medieval epic because it was written during this time period.
