Dante Alighieri’s poem, Divine Comedy, initiates a journey that would eventually lead voyagers to the virtues of Heaven. However, he teaches that reaching this paradisical state of virtue is impossible without first navigating through multiple layers of vice – namely, the 7 deadly sins: Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Avarice, Gluttony & Lust. These sins are suffered by climbing Mount Purgatory, a liminal, hellish space positing the idea that all sin arises from misexpressed Love.
