Although the lower and higher classes of morality consider "evil" the good
of the other morality, it is interesting to note that the weak, in fact,
want to be strong. Nietzsche writes, "These weak people-some day or other
they too intend to be the strong, there is no doubt of that, some day
their 'kingdom" shall come" (48). Although the upper and lower, good and
evil splits consider those who disagree with them their opponents,
there is evidence that suggest their sources may not be so unique. For
example, Dante "placed above the gateway of his hell the inscription 'I
too was created by eternal love'" (49). This statement, though obviously a lie, says that Dante, someone belongs and is in hell, had heavenly origins. Although Dante, since in hell has hate for heaven, he possesses an incarnate trait that makes him desire to ultimately return to heaven where he originated. He wants to move from evil to good.
