All of these artful creations all try to express the horrors of Dante's Hell. The music was dramatic and sinister, attempting to create feeling of fear Dante must have felt. The art was more literal, taking scenes from the story and brining them to life. The first video explains the historical 'why', why would Dante write about such horrible things? Dante seemed to be living in his own hell, his city and the people he loved were taken from him and he felt betrayed by the Pope.
I have read many Allegories and they all have similar ideas and events, though not nearly as dark and vengeful. I think the Inferno is very relatable, whether you've lost your way in life, or you hate someone, this poem can be for anyone. This work creates inspiration because of the many ways it can be interpreted. It can be religious, symbolic, literal, or even just a story or myth. It's what people are able to take out of this universal tale that makes it so inspirational.
