    Dante's Divine Comedy:
    Inferno, Purgatorio and
    Paradiso
    Overview of
    the Book
    Dante Alighieri. He was a philosopher
    and theologist involved with religion and
    political issues in medieval Florence, his
    hometown. He started writing The Divine
    Comedy in 1308, and finished it in 1321.

    The poem, The Divine Comedy, is about
    a journey of the author himself, towards
    God. It has three parts: Inferno (Hell),
    Purgatorio (Purgatory) and Paradiso

    Divine (Heaven). Each part consists of thirty-


    three cantos. Such division reflects the
    medieval theology specific to
    Comedy Christianity. The purpose of Dante’s
    Divine Comedy was to show people the
    horrors their souls would go through if
    they did not obey God's laws, and did not
    live their lives righteously.
