Virgil’s Commedia has a strong religious connotation in the work.  The concept of heaven, hell and purgatory would not be appealing to someone of secular or irreligious identity.  Although that may be the case, the work has several appealing aspects to those who fall into the secular category.  Heaven, hell and purgatory may be applied to everyday life and present as a metaphor to many things happening in our life.  For example, purgatory may represent our loss in life, pertaining not to death but rather to loss of self in the world or ones life.  Hell may represent all the bad that a person may have done and wants to which may lead to darkness in the their life.  Heaven of course may represent clean intentions and the good a person may bring to others and him or herself.  The work as well can teach a bout life in general.  Virgil illustrates stories of those who are in each zone and it can be appealing to the readers to see what kind of actions people commit that may cause consequences in their life.  Not religious consequence, but a problem that they may encounter.  Virgil’s work as well can serve as a time machine to study what was viewed as wrong and right in his time compared to what we view in society now.  The work teaches about life overral making the work be appreciated by anyone of any belief.
