<span>1) In 'Inferno' as well as in the rest of 'Divine Comedy', Dante included a lot of elements from Bible and 'The Aeneid' by Vergil. Due to the lots of biblical elements this story can be defined as Biblical fiction and the depiction and meaning of Hell is a direct proof of this fact. Dante made a crossover of biblical and Vergilic elements describing his own personality in both allusional sacred way. </span>

2) Dante included such allusions because he wanted to represent the perception of human evil in its categorization into different realms. He categorized sins and described them gradually by their level of complexity showing that people tend to measure everything even sins that can lead them to the journey to the Hell.

Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm. Afterwards Squealer made a round of the farm and set the animals’ minds at rest.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

A sentence after "is it written down anywhere?" it says and since it was certainly true that nothing of the kind existed in writing, the animals were satisfied that they had been mistaken"

Explanation:

So i don't know if you can use the sentence, but technically its still in the paragraph. Squealer is convincing the animals that they were wrong, and he is making them content with their being wrong. this tells you that squealer's character is bossy and he likes to have everyone else believe what he wants them to.

Hear the tolling of the bells—

                Iron bells!

       How we shiver with affright

 At the melancholy menace of their tone!

                Is a groan…”

       They that dwell up in the steeple,…”

14. …”How the danger sinks and swells,

By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells—

            Of the bells—…”

In the clamor and the clangor of the bells!...”

 ..”Hear the tolling of the bells—

                Iron bells!..”
