The Divine Comedy chronicles Dante’s journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. The poem explores the condition of the soul after death and illustrates the concept of divine justice, where individuals receive either punishment or reward based on their earthly actions. Guided by Virgil and later by Beatrice and Saint Bernard, Dante meets various historical and mythical figures, each assigned a specific place in the afterlife according to their deeds on Earth, providing a structured vision of what comes after death.
