    This article examines how Dante's depiction of Hell in The Divine Comedy aligns with Thomas Aquinas's moral theory regarding the love of God. Specifically, it analyzes how sins are punished in Hell according to their relation to proper love of God and neighbor. Those who sin through incontinence are less culpable than those who sin through malice and deliberate hatred against God and neighbor. Overall, Dante's conception of the afterlife reinforces Aquinas's view that the proper aim of human life is loving God above all else.
