Dante realizes he must face evil (Satan) and rise toward the stars to the promise that is found in Heaven. The stars stand as a symbol of divine order and hope. Dante's relationship with God is evident in his writing, which portrays the experience of a deeply committed Christian. During the time he wrote, in the Middle Ages, this religious commitment was widely accepted and encouraged. It is this spiritual truth: that those who insist on denying God's will and die unrepentant are eternally damned unless they repent and walk in the ways of the Lord, which makes Dante's Inferno a religious and morally challenging experience.
fantastic sparkling creature of our sunlit afternoon. He reached the door ahead of me and opened it for me. I paused halfway through the frame. "The door was unlocked?" "No, I used the key from under the eave." I stepped inside, flicked on the porch light, and turned to look at him with my eyebrows raised. I was sure I'd never used that key in front of him. "I was curious about you." "You spied on me?" But somehow I couldn't infuse my voice with the proper outrage. I was flattered. He was unrepentant. "What else is there to do at night?" I let it go for the moment and went down the hall to the kitchen. He was there before me, needing no guide. He sat in the very chair I'd tried to picture him in. His beauty lit up the kitchen.

It revolved, filling the kitchen with the smell of tomatoes and oregano. I
couple love each other and sincerely intend to remain married. Promising is a closely related example: If I utter (1) insincerely, having no intention of paying you your money, it is an infelicitous promise. For that matter, if I shout (1) to you across a crowded room, and you cannot hear me, that is an infelicity of a different sort. There are borderline cases as between strongly constitutive and regulative rules. What if I utter (4), but in a flauntedly unrepentant, jeering, sneering tone? Is that a grievously infelicitous apology, or no apology at all? Austin (1962) was greatly concerned to emphasize the multifariousness of infelicity. An utterance can go wrong in any one of any number of quite different ways. It can be an ill-advised move in a game, as when one utters (6) because one has miscalculated the odds. Or it may be insincere. Or one may lack the standing or authority to perform an act of the kind intended. Or it may be very rude
