I really liked overanalysing this book. I’ve been wanting to read this for soooo long!!!
No words can describe the greatness of this work, a greatness both of theme and poetry. As a poet, Dante takes his place in the ranks of the foremost artists the world has ever known. The theme which he treats is universal; it involves the greatest concepts which man has ever attained. Only a master could find the loftiness of tone and the splendor and variety of images and scenes which are presented in The Divine Comedy.

Fun but difficult to read. Do not read as the first old classic you read for sure. I’ve read many old poetry pieces and this was the hardest.
3.5/5 STARS
I honestly loved this book. The translation I had was incredibly easy to read and follow.
The entire exploration of Dante's version and beliefs of hell had me consumed in thought the entire time I wasn't reading. It made me realize new ideas and beliefs I was unaware of. My copy is covered in notes and questions that I'm still currently mulling over.
Would most definitely read this again.
