"The Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri is an epic poem written in the 14th century. This illustrious work is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso, with "Purgatorio" focusing specifically on the journey through Purgatory. In the narrative, the protagonist Dante embarks on a spiritual journey guided by the Roman poet Virgil, moving through the various stages of the afterlife to ultimately reach a state of divine grace. At the start of "Purgatorio," Dante describes his departure from the dark and chaotic atmosphere of Hell, finding himself on the shores of Purgatory, where souls purify themselves for Heaven. He is accompanied by Virgil, who is tasked with guiding him through this second realm of the afterlife, where they encounter various souls seeking redemption and penance for their earthly sins. As they ascend the mountain of Purgatory, they meet spirits who share their stories and reflect on their past lives, revealing their struggles and hopes for salvation. This opening section sets the stage for a tale of spiritual growth, moral reflection, and the quest for divine forgiveness.
