"The Dream of Gerontius" by John Henry Newman is a poem written in 1865. It follows a dying man's prayer and his soul's journey after death through divine judgment and toward Purgatory. Written after Newman's conversion to Catholicism, the poem explores Catholic beliefs about death and the afterlife through seven phases. Gerontius experiences his final moments, awakens as a soul, encounters his Guardian Angel, and passes through demonic temptations toward his encounter with God, expressing humanity's fear of unworthiness and desire for purification.
