Dante Alighieri's epic poem “The Divine Comedy” is written
in three parts, Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradisio. These reflect the three possible
destinations to where the soul might be transported after death according to medieval
Roman Catholicism. Dante, as narrator of the poem, is guided through nine levels of Hell
by the Roman poet Virgil, and then through Purgatory, and finally to Paradise. The nine
levels of Hell illustrate the divisions of sins in medieval Roman Catholicism. The poem
illustrates the soul’s journey from sin to God.
