This paper aims to examine how Dante understands God's Justice in The Divine Comedy, especially in The Inferno. Throughout Commedia (The Divine Comedy), Dante narrates the journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. Dante first descends into hell, then ascends to heaven via purgatory. His purpose is to teach his contemporaries to know Jesus and live their life honestly and morally. To convey his message clearly, Dante uses the various characters from Greek mythology, his life, and the Scripture, to depict vividly the horrifying environment in hell and the painful death the damned experience after they die. In this context, the Medieval Catholic Church's view on salvation is allegorically expressed through Dante's mastery of the language.
