What is Dante's central idea about the afterlife?
My understanding of the afterlife, as depicted in the *Divine Comedy*, is structured by divine justice. Souls are assigned to their eternal reward or punishment based on their actions and their ultimate disposition towards God. The journey itself is an allegory for the soul's purification and ascent towards divine grace, illustrating the path from sin to salvation through divine intervention and human effort.
