EVERY Character In Dante's Purgatorio Explained

The middle piece in a trilogy is always difficult to pull off. And yet, Dante's Purgatorio manages to be just as captivating as the rest of the Divine Comedy. As he ascends the mountain of purgatory, cleansing himself in preparation for his arrival in the earthly paradise, Dante once again encounters several figures who would have been known to his own contemporaries, but aren't always so obvious to readers who wish to take on the Comedy today. And so, let me be your Virgil once again (and occasionally your Sordello or your Forese Donati), as I help shed some light onto who these characters are, in hopes that, just as the prayers from the living help the souls in purgatory to ascend, so too your journey through it might be eased... Or at least that you may be entertained for the next 40 minutes.
