Summary

Dante Alighieri: Hell

Divine Comedy
Hell
Translated and interpreted by: Dr. Iso Kršnjavi
Second edition
decorated with 30 paintings by Mirko Račko

Second edition decorated with 30 paintings by Mirko Račko.

The divine comedy consists of three parts, Hell (Inferno), Purgatorio and Paradise (Paradiso), which respectively have 34 (introductory canto and another 33 cantos), 33 and 33 cantos in total. 14,000 lines. The first part of the comedy, Inferno, is the most famous and is often published separately under the title "Dante's Inferno". The number 3 as a symbol is extremely important in this work - the length of the work (33 cantos each), the stanza in which the canto is written is a tercina, three beasts attack Dante in the opening canto, and the number three is also a symbol of the Holy Trinity. An important role is also played by the number 100, which was considered a perfect number (introductory chant and three parts of 33 chants each). The stanzas also consist of three lines, and the rhyme goes according to the scheme: aba bcb cdc ded ...

The poet speaks in the first person about his journey through three parts of the afterlife at the time of Easter in the year 1300, at the "halfway point of his life", that is, at the age of 35. He is guided through Hell and Purgatory by the Roman poet Virgil, the author of the Aeneid whom Dante admired, and through Paradise by Beatrice, Dante's vision of a perfect woman. Beatrice was a real woman from Florence whom Dante met in childhood and admired from afar. Virgil could not lead Dante through Paradise because Virgil is unbaptized and is in Limbo (1st circle of Hell).

The last word of all parts of the Divine Comedy is "stars" (ital. stelle)
