Comedy, in the divine sense by Dante, I think this is one of the greatest works in literature. This story-poem, an allegory, I believe, reflects the human condition by its merits or demerits, the rewards or the punishments of spiritual, or rather divine justice. Dante's creative conjuration is powerful. It allows the spiritual, the soul of man to take form, perhaps comic form, most certainly a form in reality, and as it is in comedy, the 'what if' scenario, once invisible, through the author, the actor, the person...the invisible becomes visible.
