The divine comedy by Dante Alighieri
"The divine comedy" by Dante Alighieri is an Italian narrative poem written between 1308 and 1321. The work follows Dante's journey through the three realms of the afterlife: Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Guided by the poet Virgil and his idealized woman Beatrice, Dante encounters souls receiving divine justice based on their earthly actions. The poem allegorically represents the soul's journey toward God through recognition of sin, penance, and spiritual ascent, drawing on
medieval Catholic theology and philosophy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
