holy crap i just thought of this (this is not intended to be offensive towards any religious groups). what if mundus is god and sparda/dante/vergil are lucifer. think about it. mundus has control over humanity and though he is not directly doing anything to humans, he is swaying them with influence (like how we don't see angels or demons but they are manipulating out thought process). sparda, didn't agree with the way the demon king ran things, and he rebelled. his punishment was banishment. much like god and lucifer. dante and vergil represent two traits of lucifer: active rebellion, and cunning. the end of the game represents the apocalypse. the revelation of angels and demons. plus, the side plots of mundus seeing a mixed breed as a threat and an abomination. so he had them all slain. and if you speak out against him or his teachings, he will damn you to eternal pain. yet he still claims to have use for you and your burning soul.
 
No, this is just you applying something to DmC.
Mundus is the embodiment of the goverment

DmC was inspired by punk movement
and character design was inspired by that too

So Dante is a rebel (punk) who fights against the goverment (Mundus).

meh, close enough
 
As others said, DmC is a social satire, criticizing government and conformism. However, your way of putting things is very interesting: there surely are some similarities, although it's probably just a coincidence.

actually, the message is more along the lines of how easy it was to subjugate humanity with things they were more than willing to subjugate themselves with. Money, beauty, consumerism, and a media that did all that difficult thinking for you; demons didn't have to bend humanity to their will, they just presented what humanity already wanted and humanity bent itself to the demons.

They were a lot less subtle about it in "they live" going as far as printing "this is your god now" on money and using subliminal messages to make thinking for yourself seem like a huge hassle when it was so much easier to let [the 80's fox new equivalent] do it for you.
