Dante's Divine Comedy is a renowned epic poem written in the 14th century. It consists of three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The poem follows the journey of the protagonist, Dante himself, through the realms of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Guided by the poet Virgil and his beloved Beatrice, Dante encounters various sinners and witnesses their punishments in Hell, experiences purification in Purgatory, and finally reaches the beatific vision in Paradise.
