What does inferno indicate about medieval values? Do you agree with Dante’s hierarchy of Hell? Why or why not?

That medieval values were religiously motivated.

At first sight I didn´t, but to a certain degree I agree.

Explanation:

Dante's Inferno is the first part of three: Inferno, Purgatory and Paradiso.

The inferno describes the voyage of Dante with his guide Virgil through the different levels of hell. As the two other parts and Inferno clearly indicate, the (moral) values of Dante's work - that reflects the medieval time in which he lived - concentrate on the cornerstone of religion: your acts on earth will have its consequences in heaven or, more likely, in hell.  The religious dogma´s of the Middle Ages are clearly represented in the absolute faith that, if you´re unfaithfull, morally unjust or, even worse, worship the wrong  religion,  you´re bound to suffer in after-life.

Dante's hierarchy of hell goes from lust via other sins to violence and ends surprisingly with betrayal. For example we find Judas and Brutus at the highest, or last level of hell. Fraud also scores very high on the sin-scale of Dante´s inferno. I was tempted to disagree with Dante but later I realised that betrayal can leave even deeper wounds than violence does.

- "d.)  describe the iroquois belief of how the earth was created. for the iroquois, there was no reason to explain the importance of rituals. also, as animists, they didn't need a special elaboration as to why animals are important or why they had a crucial role in the earth's creation. this is just an authentic myth that explains the creation of the earth. every culture has produced creation myths."

uncanny would be like unlucky or disaster. you can look for more in the dictionary or if you have text book then turn to a. 17 but it's different with textbooks.
