The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri: Purgatorio by Paul A. Böer Sr., Dante Alighieri

4.0

I enjoyed reading this part of the Divine Comedy the most so far. In Purgatory, there seem to be even more historical connections, but instead of telling them that they have no redeeming qualities, there is more a theme of hope. It was refreshing to see that not everything was just damnation and a lack of sorrow. There was actual repentance in what they had done. Plus, Virgil gets put in his place more often in this part because he does not really know Purgatory as well as he knew Hell. It was interesting to see how Hell and Purgatory were so different--they had some things exactly opposite from each other. It will be cool to be able to see how Purgatory will be different from Heaven.
