Guided by the Roman poet Virgil, Dante ascends Mount Purgatory, an island-mountain where penitent souls climb seven terraces of suffering and spiritual growth. The journey explores sin's nature, virtue and vice, and argues that all sins stem from perverted, deficient, or excessive love. Prayer and redemption shape this allegorical vision of the Christian soul's purification before reaching Paradise. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
