Geoffrey’s Reviews > The Divine Comedy: Inferno - Purgatorio - Paradiso > Status Update

#Readers, I have made it through Dante's Purgatorio, where with each ascending circle a "P" is removed from his forehead.This denotes the cleansing of a sin (peccata in Italian. Again, the tale is filled with personal encounters with friends or enemies (annotations help). Virgil has been replaced by Beatrice, as his guide. She represents a former true love, as well asDivine Wisdom. 3 stars (as it was more tedious).

I've decided to break the review of Dante's famous classic story into 3 parts, since I am progressing at a snail's pace. The first part, the Inferno tells of the protagonist's travels into the depths of Hell, albeit at his request (for some reason). His guide for this adventure is the famous poet, Virgil, who Dante idolizes. In truth, the traverse through the nine circles of Hell presents a terrifying journey.

I'm going slowly on this one:-)
