I recommend analyzing the Inferno, this is the 1st portion of the divine comedy a minimum of as quickly as. Of the three texts, this is the superb and you have gotten to examine it in college so why no longer? Purgatory and Heaven apparently lose its effect after a mutually as. Be arranged nevertheless on condition that ninety 5% of the divine comedy has references to previous political officers, ineffective human beings and different important figures you have on no account heard of. Get a e book that has some element notes to describe all those human beings's place.

Divine Comedy is the name that Dante gave to a trilogy of his work. The first book in this trilogy was called Inferno and is the most popular and famous. The second book, was about purgatory and the third book was his relayed is visit to heaven where he met his beloved and spoke to her. He called is a Divine comedy, b/c back then stories were either a Tragedy or a Comedy and since this was not a tragic journey but one of self-exploration and enlightenment and it had a happy ending (tragedies by nature have a sad ending) it was called a comedy. It was titled Divine, because Dante was stating that this journey he undertook was real (he did visit Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven) and this journey was ordained by God himself - thus Divine.

Several have written guides or accompaniments to this great masterpiece.
Right now I am reading Charles William's "Figure of Beatrice"
It is a little difficult but very interesting.

Dante's epic journey through hell and purgatory to heaven.
It is divine because it deals with the spiritual world and a comedy because it ends with the union of Dante and God.

When the audience is so with you, your comedy just captures the room. If you get a snorting audience member your pretty close to heaven, LOL
