F. (Henry Francis) The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Paradise, Complete Reading ease score: 66.9 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read. David Widger Updated: 2023-01-14. "The Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri is an epic poem written in the early 14th century. This monumental work explores themes of redemption, sin, and divine justice through an allegorical journey, following Dante himself as the main character as he traverses the realms of the afterlife: Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. The "Paradise" portion described in this illustration marks the final section of the trilogy, wherein Dante seeks enlightenment and divine love amid the celestial spheres. The opening of "Paradise" sets a visionary tone, featuring Dante’s request for divine inspiration as he prepares to describe his experiences in Heaven. Here, he is accompanied by Beatrice, his long-lost love, who guides him through this ethereal realm. The text reflects on the profound light of the divine and the complexities of existence, emphasizing the metaphysical concepts of order, love, and spiritual ascent. As Dante gazes upon the celestial bodies and engages in dialogue with other enlightened spirits, themes of knowledge and the quest for ultimate truth emerge prominently from the very start, inviting readers into a richly layered and contemplative exploration of faith and existence.
