In Paradise I Dante introduces the issue of subjectivity as a way of knowing. Here Dante presents himself as a visionary, as a poet who experienced the beatific vision and is able to retell it. The relationship between vision and language is central and leads to the question on what role forgetfulness plays in Dante's account.
