(Henry Francis) Divine Comedy, Cary's Translation, Purgatory Judith Smith and Natalie Salter "Divine Comedy, Cary's Translation, Purgatory" by Dante Alighieri is a poetic epic written in the 14th century. This work is the second part of Dante's larger narrative that explores themes of sin, redemption, and the human soul's journey towards salvation. The primary focus lies on the protagonist, Dante himself, as he travels through Purgatory—a realm where souls are purified before ascending to Heaven. The opening of "Purgatory" introduces us to a bright and hopeful landscape as Dante, guided by the Roman poet Virgil, escapes the darkness of Hell and embarks on his ascent. The scene is filled with rich imagery, where Dante expresses relief and joy at leaving the "cruel sea" of sin behind. He is soon approached by a venerable spirit who inquires about their journey. It is revealed that Dante's path to freedom involves purification, guided by divine intervention, and he must wash away his spiritual stains to continue. The sense of awe and reverence permeates the narrative as Dante and Virgil set forth into this realm of transition, ready to confront the souls seeking redemption.
