The Divine Comedy is divided into 3 books, each with 33 chapters. The first book is Inferno, which is the start of Dante's journey. He is rescued from his sin by Virgil, who will be his guide through the underworld. There are 9 circles of hell, one for each variation of sin, and in each circle are the sinners stuck in hell as punishment. After they travel through hell, the next book, Purgatory, begins. Here Virgil leads Dante to a mountain that is made up of seven terraces, each one representing the seven deadly sins. Here the sinners are based on their reasons why they sinned, and as punishment they must continuously walk up and down the mountain. For the final book titled Paradise, Dante is now escorted by his first love, Beatrice, through Heaven. She guides him through the nine celestial spheres of Heaven, which are ranked from pure to the purest, which would be angels that haven't been toutched by sin. In the tenth circle lies God. To end the Divine Comedy, Dante has a revalation and feels at one with the Lord.
