Dante Alighieri's 'Divine Comedy' is an epic poem that chronicles the journey of the protagonist, Dante, through the afterlife.

It is divided into three parts: Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Paradise).

Guided by the Roman poet Virgil, Dante descends into Hell, witnessing the torments of various sinners.

In Purgatory, he ascends a mountain, purging his own sins.

Finally, led by Beatrice, Dante ascends to Paradise, experiencing the divine presence.

The poem explores themes of sin, redemption, divine justice, and the nature of God, offering a comprehensive vision of the medieval worldview.
