*Final : Why Dante Is Relevant In Today's World *
The Divine Comedy (Dante's Inferno) is still relevant to today’s modern world views of sin, even though it was written 700 years ago. This poem tells a story of Dante’s journey into the afterlife were he goes through the nine circles of hell. He does this so he will be saved and have eternal life. In today’s world there are some people who are going through a journey like Dante. The same sins from hell in this poem are still sins by people today. The relevance of sin are seen from the first Canto, called Limbo. Stated in "The Divine Comedy " during Dante’s journey in the dark forest, he wandered off from the path he was  going and became lost. He symbolized the forest as a metaphor for sin. This represents suffering when people become depressed or even unsure of their path in life. A lot of people go through journeys in life to overcome fears and figure out their paths.

Trying to figure a way out, he stumbles upon three beasts Each of which represent a sin, a leopard, a lion  and a wolf. As explained by "Aldo" the leopard indicates the circle of Lust, a lion represents Pride and a wolf characterizing as avarice. The Leopard urges Dante to turn back, where he stumbles upon a lion. The lion vanishes as a wolf comes into the picture and pushes him back further into the shadows of despair. He then meets a man known as Publius Vergilius Maro also known as (Virgil) and begs him to be set free from the dangerous woods. "Florence Inferno " This symbolizes people asking God to forgive their sins so that they may have eternal life in heaven. Virgil then guides Dante through hell to show him the spirits in pain. Those that sin are punished and sent to hell to cope with their sins in purgatory. The sins they commit will have be the exact punishment for what they have done explained by Sophie Stuber in "The Stanford Daily " While the ones who are redeemed are sent to heaven for eternal life with God. As read by Pure Shaw, from “Huffpost ” our behavior as humans decides if we are going to spend eternity in heaven or hell. If Dante wants to be saved, he has to go through purgatory and hell. Just like in the Modern world today, If you want to be saved, you need to ask God to forgive your sins and accept him as our savior to have eternal life. If you don’t accept him and continue to be sinful, you will end up going through purgatory like in this epic poem.

Please see the above bold in the brackets. There are some grammatical errors. Please fix them before you move your additions to the Wikipedia article.

My biggest concern is your sources. The Florence Inferno is a blog which is not considered as a reliable source. Therefore, the information you provided here may be questioned by other readers or Wikipedians. Similarly, the standard daily is a student-run journal. Its credibility is questionable.

The only thing worth editing is shortening the opening and elongate the explanation of their relevance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DzDylan (talk • contribs) 15:49, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

It is written well but you want to be careful that it doesn't turn into your opinion. For example instead of sating that "Our behavior as humans decides if we are going to spend eternity in heaven or hell" you could say "so and so from such and such a journal believes that Our behavior as humans decides if we are going to spend eternity in heaven or hell". Even though your statement is most likely correct, making a verbal connection to an external author provides some credibility.
