    This audio interpretation is presented with all the professionalism and polish of a group project for a college literary class with readers taking turns reading five cantos apiece, some being able to communicate understanding of the text they are reading while others show very little understanding as they ramble through this masterpiece. In my listening, I got as far as the 11th canto which was already the third reader. I couldn’t bear to hear anymore. I wish someone had told me that this was a non-professional production. I’m mildly upset I won’t get the time back that it took me to listen to 10 and a half cantos.

    Love, both human and divine, is a central theme of The Divine Comedy. Dante's love for Beatrice serves as a driving force for his spiritual journey, while the divine love of God and the saints offers hope of redemption for humanity.

    The final part of the poem takes place in Paradise, where Dante experiences the celestial realms and encounters the blessed souls of the saints, angels, and the Virgin Mary. Guided by Beatrice, Dante ascends through the celestial spheres, each representing a different virtue, until he reaches the ultimate vision of God.
