"It came a thing not even Dante could have conceived." (36)Dante Alighieri was an Italian poet who wrote The Divine Comedy. The Divine Comedy is about Dante's journey through Hell, purgatory and paradise. Dante is known for the source of the modern Italian language and known as a supreme poet. Victor Frankenstein is comparing himself to Dante, which renders him of greater brilliance.
