How do the settings in the inferno reveal dante's opinions about justice? in your analysis, discuss at least two settings the character dante encounters inside hell.

The settings that we encounter in the Inferno reveal Dante's opinions about justice. Dante has created a world in which the sins that he believes are more rampant in the world are punished in ways that he believes are fair. Therefore, the settings reveal a lot about Dante's mind, as well as his social, political and historical context.

For example, at the entrance of Inferno, Dante encounters Limbo. Limbo is the place where virtuous people who did not believe in God are. This reveals that Dante believes pagans (people who do not believe in Christianity) can still be virtuous people, and therefore do not deserve a cruel punishment. Another example is the Fourth Circle of Hell, where people who were consumed by greed are located. Here, Dante finds both people who hoarded wealth as well as people who squandered it. This shows that Dante believed both of these to be equally negative and equally deserving of punishment and justice.

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
