The Divine Comedy, Volume 3, Paradise

"The Divine Comedy, Volume 3, Paradise" by Dante Alighieri is an old poem that tells of an amazing journey through Heaven, where the main character, guided by a woman named Beatrice, tries to understand fairness, love, and what God is like. This poem shows different levels of Heaven, explaining the good deeds of the people who live there, and talks about being saved and the importance of keeping promises. It starts with an introduction and a prayer, getting ready for the journey to the highest level. The main character thinks about the incredible greatness of God that fills everything and knows it's hard to describe what it's like to see God. As they go up, Beatrice explains why they're rising, pointing out that God made the universe in a certain way and that everyone wants to understand God. This beginning shows that the poem will spend a lot of time thinking deeply and revealing important religious ideas.
