Senior Project Quarterly!

In Dante’s Inferno, he explores the “sins” that many people may describe as character flaws or improper traits. He examines the 7 deadly sins, wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony, to provide examples of why we should take a better introspection on life. These sins are all reflections of how cruel and self absorbed some people can be, which called for a means of self-improvement. But how exactly can the Inferno be means of self improvement?
The inferno is filled wit death wishes and tales of how people should have lived their life or they wouldn't be in the situation. But, what about those who did nothing wrong, must they punished? Taking a deeper look into the Inferno I realized that although I may not agree with his views, he does have a few key points and it definatly does make you wonder. For instance, the sin of lust is one that everyone in the world would go to hell. For example, in todays society people are starting to ingage in sex at very young ages which means more and more people are committing sins and shall be punished. I'm not saying that his views make any sense but he does have a clear stand point and he really make you want to evaluate your self and you worth.
