This chapter can be tough for people to comprehend. You can be straight or gay, bisexual, transgender, pansexual, asexual, and more. Some folks maintain that our sexuality is not fixed but fluid (meaning susceptible to change) over time.

There is scientific evidence to support this. Most people don’t acknowledge sexual attraction to others (regardless of gender).

Dante Alighieri played a critical role in the literature world through his poem Divine Comedy that was written in the 14th century. The poem contains Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The Inferno is a description of the nine circles of torment that are found on the earth. It depicts the realms of the people that have gone against the spiritual values and who, instead, have chosen bestial appetite, violence, or fraud and malice. The nine circles of hell are limbo, lust, gluttony, greed and wrath. Others are heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Dante’s Inferno in the perspective of its portrayal of God’s image and the justification of hell. 

In this epic poem, God is portrayed as a super being guilty of multiple weaknesses including being egotistic, unjust, and hypocritical. Dante, in this poem, depicts God as being more human than divine by challenging God’s omnipotence. Additionally, the manner in which Dante describes Hell is in full contradiction to the morals of God as written in the Bible. When god arranges Hell to flatter Himself, He commits egotism, a sin that is common among human beings (Cheney, 2016). The weakness is depicted in Limbo and on the Gate of Hell where, for instance, God sends those who do not worship Him to Hell. This implies that failure to worship Him is a sin.

God is also depicted as lacking justice in His actions thus removing the godly image. The injustice is portrayed by the manner in which the sodomites and opportunists are treated. The opportunists are subjected to banner chasing in their lives after death followed by being stung by insects and maggots. They are known to having done neither good nor bad during their lifetimes and, therefore, justice could have demanded that they be granted a neutral punishment having lived a neutral life. The sodomites are also punished unfairly by God when Brunetto Lattini is condemned to hell despite being a good leader (Babor, T. F., McGovern, T., & Robaina, K. (2017). While he commited sodomy, God chooses to ignore all the other good deeds that Brunetto did.

Finally, God is also portrayed as being hypocritical in His actions, a sin that further diminishes His godliness and makes Him more human. A case in point is when God condemns the sin of egotism and goes ahead to commit it repeatedly. Proverbs 29:23 states that “arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.” When Slattery condemns Dante’s human state as being weak, doubtful, and limited, he is proving God’s hypocrisy because He is also human (Verdicchio, 2015). The actions of God in Hell as portrayed by Dante are inconsistent with the Biblical literature. Both Dante and God are prone to making mistakes, something common among human beings thus making God more human.

To wrap it up, Dante portrays God is more human since He commits the same sins that humans commit: egotism, hypocrisy, and injustice. Hell is justified as being a destination for victims of the mistakes committed by God. The Hell is presented as being a totally different place as compared to what is written about it in the Bible. As a result, reading through the text gives an image of God who is prone to the very mistakes common to humans thus ripping Him off His lofty status of divine and, instead, making Him a mere human. Whether or not Dante did it intentionally is subject to debate but one thing is clear in the poem: the misconstrued notion of God is revealed to future generations.

Yes, I do think a person can be sexually fluid. Sexual fluidity is the ability to change one’s sexual orientation or gender preference over time, either due to personal feelings or outside influences. It is often confused with bisexuality but it is important to note that sexual fluidity does not necessarily mean engaging in both heterosexual and homosexual activities; rather, it means that one’s sexual orientation may shift depending on the situation or individual they are interacting with.

The concept of sexual fluidity was first introduced in 1973 by psychologist John Money. In his book Man & Woman/Boy & Girl: The Differentiation and Dimorphism of Gender Identity From Conception to Maturity, he suggested that gender identity could develop differently from birth sex and argued for greater acceptance of individuals who displayed characteristics outside of traditional male-female norms. This theory has since been widely accepted as an explanation for why some people may experience shifts in their sexual orientation throughout their lives.

There are many factors which can contribute to a person displaying signs of being sexually fluid such as environmental influences, life experiences, mental health issues and even hormonal changes caused by menstrual cycles in women (known as ‘menstrual cycle related variability’). For example, research has shown that during premenstrual phases women may be more likely attract towards members of the same sex than when they are not experiencing any phase specific symptoms; conversely men have been found to become less interested in female partners during this period than when they are not experiencing such hormone fluctuations.

It is therefore clear that there are various elements which can influence an individual’s sexuality or gender identity throughout their lifetime; whether this results in them becoming completely identified under a certain label (i.e., lesbian, gay etc) or simply remaining open-minded towards different relationships types thus allowing themselves the possibility to explore what works best for them without making demands on how they must identify themselves is up to each person individually but either way should still be seen as valid choices regardless if someone chooses one path over another (or none at all). So yes I do think it is possible for a person to be sexually fluid – after all everyone’s journey through life will be different so why shouldn’t our sexuality too?

reactions from readers as opposed to a contemporary novel like Wallflower. Stories about people (especially adolescents) discovering a part of themselves that they have never known, literary or mainstream, may have similar premises of childhood and adolescense, but they seem to omit differing emotions to readers because of literary elements that change how the reader thinks about the novel. In this way, the contemporary setting of the 21st century has changed the viewpoints of millennial audiences in reading fiction through historical changes, their presentations of conflict, and their language and grammar.

First of all, the historical movements and events of our time have always affected the way we tell our stories and the internal and external struggles of the protagonists in those stories that correspond with the events. Stories have always been a response to the modern times. As the times, industries and modalities change, so do the stories. To Kill a Mockingbird takes place in the 1930’s, a period of economic turmoil in the Great Depression. In addition, the racial tension in the time period that affects the main conflict of the story in a black man’s rxxe trial, also a prominent presence throughout the story. Harper Lee’s rich, well-fleshed out characters are deeply influenced by the time period, so reading about an era several decades ago can give the reader an insight of what the time period was like, but can also make it very hard to connect with the external struggles of these characters living in a time that we cannot genuinely know what is like. The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Stephen Chbosky’s high school coming-of-age story, takes place in a more modern new era of cliques and teen social structures, and through this viewpoint, we see our protagonist Charlie’s discoveries about friendship that he makes throughout the story be very similar to our own. These characters can be more relatable for readers since the protagonists are teens living in a generation adjacent to ours, so their situations and stories can be elevated to a level of emotion that Mockingbird cannot, through its scenarios that are very reminiscent of the real world. In Wallflower, there is one primary factor of the historical context of the novel, however, that keeps it from having the wide-reaching connection between the author and the reader. Paper Towns, a novel by contemporary teen coming-of-age writer John Green, may have the most deep-rooted connection with the reader when reading it due to the story and characters taking place in our own generation – the era of technology. The use of technology in the novel as an incitement of conflict, causing endless chaos, is very reminiscent of our generation and its unique qualities, so I think this novel may just be the most exciting to read because of these undeniably relatable or even nostalgic settings and situations. This further proves my statement that the settings in coming-of-age stories have a powerful impact on the reader’s emotional investment in the story.

The presentation of conflict in these novels also impact the reader’s reaction to the story and characters. In both literary and mainstream novels, conflict arises, but will be presented in a way that is more apparent and less nuanced in mainstream novels than it would be presented in strict literary fiction. In To Kill a Mockingbird, near the climax of the novel, Atticus Finch tells his family that “They shot him [Tom Robinson]. They say he just broke into a blind raving charge at the fence and started climbing over.” (Lee 268) In a novel about a child’s loss of innocence, this was one of the most powerful examples of injustice and inequality, but
