From the famous Italian Renaissance poet Dante AliGneki Cheri (1265- 132 1).
Commedia (Divine Comedy) is a long poem by Italian poet Dante AliGneki Cheri (1265- 132 1). From 1307 to 132 1, the whole poem consists of three parts: hell, hell, purgatory and purgatory, which condemns the church's rule, but still does not get rid of the Christian theological point of view.
The whole poem is divided into three parts, 33 in each part, with preface poems in front, 100. This poem has three lines, rhyming into a string (Aba, BCB, CDC, ...), and the length of each article is roughly equal, and the parts are basically equal. (4720 lines of hell; 4755 lines of purgatory; 4758 lines in heaven), each line ends with the word "stelle".
Outline of the whole poem
Dante described himself in the first person when he was 35 years old (halfway through his life) and strayed into a dark forest (symbolizing evil). At the foot of a mountain, three wild animals blocked the way, a female wolf (symbolizing greed), a lion (symbolizing ambition) and a leopard (symbolizing pleasure). Another way of saying it is that they symbolize the Pope, the King of France and the Florentine respectively. When he called for help, the soul of Virgil, an ancient Roman poet, appeared and said to him, "You can't defeat these three beasts. I'll show you another way. " . Lead him through hell and purgatory, then give him to the soul of Dante's unrequited lover Bayar and take him to heaven until he meets God.
In the world he described, hell is a big funnel, with its center in Jerusalem and narrowing from top to bottom. The soul evil it controls is more serious as it goes down to the center of the earth. Satan, the devil, occupies the top of the funnel. They climbed the center of the earth from the devil's tail, and on the other side was purgatory. Purgatory is like a mountain. In the sea on the other side of the earth opposite Jerusalem, the soul repents and washes away its sins here. The mountain is divided into seven layers, symbolizing the seven deadly sins. Every time you go up, you will eliminate evil until you reach the top of the mountain and you can go to heaven. The sky is divided into nine layers, and the higher the soul, the nobler it is until it passes through the ninth layer. Where are the Virgin and all the saved souls? With the permission of the Virgin, we can have a glimpse of the Trinity God.
On the way through hell, purgatory and heaven, Dante talked with the famous souls he met, including some good and bad celebrities in history. He integrated the figures he admired and hated into all parts, and sent the Pope and even some Florentines he hated to hell. Some details are not recorded in the Bible, and he invented them himself, but they are also logical. It also includes many of his views on theological issues and systematically expounds the Christian worldview.
