Summary

"The Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri is a grand, early 14th-century poem where the main character, Dante, journeys through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, symbolizing his path to redemption. The "Paradise" section shows Dante, guided by Beatrice, seeking divine understanding among the stars. He asks for heavenly inspiration to narrate his encounters in Heaven, where light and metaphysical ideas of order and love take center stage. Through observing celestial bodies and conversations with enlightened souls, Dante contemplates knowledge, truth, and also invites the audience into an exploration of spiritual ascent, faith, and life itself.
