The best description of the significance of The Divine Comedy is:
The author wrote in Italian and presented very realistic characters.
This highlights the importance of Dante Alighieri's choice to write in the vernacular (Italian) rather than Latin, which helped to elevate the Italian language and make literature more accessible. Additionally, the characters in the poem, drawn from historical and contemporary figures, reflect a realism that engages with the human experience in a profound way.
