Compare and Contrast Inferno and What dreams may come
Eventually, everyone dies. At some point, most people wonder what will happen in the after death. Is there a heaven and hell? Are we punished for our sins? Or is death just the end, there is nothing afterwards? Dante wrote the Divine Comedy in part to describe what he viewed has the afterlife, and the movie, What Dreams May Come, is a loose adaptation on Dante's view of hell, described in the Inferno. There are many similarities and differences between Dante's Inferno and What Dreams May Come. Because the movie is based on the poem, there are many similarities.

Both have different versions of hell, and I guess we will never really know what the truth is. There are so many possibilities and no proof as to what really does happen. In the end, all of our guesses really don't matter, only the truth. We will never know what happens, we can only guess. There are a
