abstract
  • Dante's Purgatorio is the second cantica of The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. It tells the story of how Virgil leads Dante through Purgatory and eventually to the Garden of Eden, where he is reunited with his earthly love Beatrice. Purgatory follows the medieval Catholic doctrine which required souls to be cleansed from the minor sins they committed during their lives by spending a proportional amount of time atoning for them in a like manner. Note that Purgatory and Hell are structured differently: whereas Hell punishes sinners according to the sins they have committed (eg theft), Purgatory cleanses them of the vices that led them to commit those sins (eg greed). Purgatory is depicted as an incredibly high mountain on an island in the world's southern hemisphere (note that Dante describes a spherical Earth almost 200 years before Christopher Columbus' voyage).
