Introduction The Divine Comedy presents three aspects of objective reality such as personal drama of the poet, the story of humanity and the structure of the universe. Also it may be interpreted as three different steps of existence: Inferno of life, Purgatorio of human’s inner struggle and the Paradiso of the belief. At the same time, The Divine Comedy is also a kind of excursion into the historical domain of past and future. Dante the Poet, Dante the Traveler It is also a poem about Dante himself and simultaneously, about a person, who travels through “other” worlds, purifies and acquires perfect cognition. Dante’s main character is a soul of a human, Dante. Still, many genius works present us the stories of their authors’ souls. Nevertheless, in The Divine Comedy Dante is not an indifferent historian, but also a person who passionately protects his ideals. His work is devoted to a human, his/her weaknesses and virtues but not about society or social relationships. Thereby, Dante’s character, Dante the Traveler is incarnation of the whole humanity which suffers from its sins and craves for the way to the bliss of heaven. The fact, that Dante the Poet associates himself with his character, Dante the Poet, serves as a mean of humanization of such obscure sphere as the Paradiso. Placing himself into the Paradiso, Dante expands the humans sphere to the divine one, brings heavens closer to earth.

Dante was a deeply religious person; thereby he interpreted The Divine Comedy as the only measure to express all perfectness of the girl. The image of Beatrice turns from an image of a plain girl into a symbolical ideal of spiritual love and femininity, a young sister of angels: “the myth or figure of Beatrice is fused with Dante’s lifework; in a crucial sense she is the Commedia, and cannot be understood if you stand outside the poem” (Bloom 3). The meeting with her becomes his goal during his pass through Inferno and Purgatorio. In the Paradiso she meets him and, as a pure and innocent soul, guides him on his way through heaven. It is also a great metaphor of Dante’s creative path of perfection his inner feelings and their oral representation in the poem. The way to the Inferno as the Way to Dante’s Inner Essence One may say that The Divine Comedy is a drama of a Human, as well as a soliloquy of a Human, self-examination, self-cognition and self-understanding of a Human. The Divine Comedy presents the search of truth and salvation which can be achieved only through self-examination and belief, which must save both, Dante and the whole humanity. Still, the way to heavens lies through the Inferno. Whereas Dante wanted to get out from the forest on his own, Vergil suggested him the only possible way: if he wanted to walk up and become p
