The Divine Comedy/La Divina Commedia
When our teacher said that our next lesson will be the Divine Comedy or La Divina Commedia, what comes to my mind is that it is all about a comedy. But when it was discussed, I was wrong. It was the journey of Dante Alighieri in Inferno(Hell), Purgatorio(Purgatory) and Paradiso(Paradise).
The story can affect the life on earth. People will change their bad habit into good habit for not to experience the punishments in Inferno or hell.
The three cantos of life are the Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso. Inferno has 9 circles with corresponding punishments, souls here are no hope to be in Purgatorio or Paradiso. Purgatorio has 7 terraces and there is also corresponding punishments, souls here have already repent their sins and they can be cleaned by doing the punishments and they can be in Paradiso. Paradiso is based on four cardinal virtues and three theological virtues. Souls here are of no sins. Paradiso is composed of 9 celestial spheres.
