![]() The Inferno is generally thought to be the best and most interesting part, which may be a result of its inverse structure: the moral plot is less visible because Dante descends into Hell. The plot of the Divine Comedy is thus very simple: it is the narrative of Dante's journey towards redemption. ![]() On the top of Purgatory there is the terrestial paradise (the garden of Eden), and after that he works his way through the celestial spheres. In the Inferno, Dante starts on ground level and works his way downward he goes all the way through the earth and Hell and ends up at the base of the mountain of Purgatory on the other side. The poems are quite short: it would take about as long to read the whole Inferno as it would to read the detailed canto summaries and analyses, although they might be helpful for understanding Dante's difficult language. The Inferno is the first part of Dante Alighieri's poem, the Divine Comedy, which chronicles Dante's journey to God, and is made up of the Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Paradise). ![]()
