Topic > The role and function of the major monsters in Dante's Inferno, during the epic journey of the character Dante into the depths of Hell, he encounters a series of beasts and monsters as he passes along the way, especially through the seven stations of the greatest monsters of Hell. The most significant of these seven major monsters is of central importance to Dante's character's journey as well as the narrative, as these monsters not only challenge Dante's character's presence in Hell, but are also the important guardians of Hell . Furthermore, some of them also have more particular tasks to perform, in addition to being the guardians of Hell. From this point, in this essay of Dante's Inferno, the seven major monsters, namely Minos, Cerberus, Pluto, Minotaur, Centaurs, Harpies and Geryon, are examined for their role and function in the story. In examining Dante's Inferno, I found that all these main monsters play their vital roles and work perfectly, and there are two substantial points of view regarding the involvement of the seven monsters. One point of view shows monsters in their role as guardians and tormentors of Hell, a tool for creating terrifying atmospheres of Hell. In other words, the narrator Dante presents monsters as scary creatures for the character Dante, as he believes that this technique is significantly important for the development of the story. Another view shows monsters as symbols that reinforce Dante's narrator's narrative, as these monsters directly reflect human sins as they represent the concept of God's punishment for the classification of sins. In Dante's Inferno, the seven main monsters play very important parts for the character. Dante throughout the story. There are num...... half of the card ......the Hell or the story of Hell, another are the symbols of human sins which reinforce the allegory of the poet Dante. Furthermore, as the story progresses, the seven major monsters represent that the degree of evil and torment that the character Dante encounters gradually increases based on the degree of the sin, allowing the poet Dante to create a more intense story. Furthermore, Dante, the narrator of Hell, succeeded in not only telling the frightening story of Hell, but also underlining the importance of the relationship between man's sins and God's punishment, using monsters as symbols for each type of sin and its punishment during the course of history, which teaches its readers to be well aware of their sins through literature – a part of humanities; the disciplines that teach man to be a human being.
