Title: Dante's Purgatorio - A Summary of the Divine Comedy Pt. 2

When Paradiso comes out, I’m watching all three of them together like a movie
Know what, good idea
Be sure to bring sunglasses. There be light a-plenty on the horizon

For everyone who will inevitably ask where part 3 is, you can just reply to this comment so the comment section isn't spammed with PART 3????? WHEN????
Where’s part 3?
I'm expecting it in 9 months, no need to keep my hopes up again
When is Part 3
and the art style looks great by the way
I am happy you continued Dante's Divine Adventures. Part 1 is literally a Highway to Hell, Part 2 is another tour beyond the Underworld towards the opposite side of the Earth. But damn, Part 3 is pretty much Made in Heaven!
Where’s part 3 ? When should we expect it, 2022?
DANTE: This follow-up took more months to be released.
VIRGIL: Shut up and just continue walking with me! We're not yet finished.
Sparda Sparda. 😋
Impatience could have easily made the list of deadly sins. Or it could easily be included in one of the existing ones, but I'm not quite smart enough to make any connection.
I bet he was like this makes George RR Martins follow up book wait seem easy😂
In the time i spent waiting for this i could have read the entire book
You should, I recommend it as well as the other 2.
I actually did after years lol
To be honest I only came to watch these videos because I read the first 2 parts, but the translator I found that got me REALLY hooked didn't wrote the 3rd.. I even tried reading it by other translators, but nah 😂
@@ErikaCrist7749 they didn’t do Paradise? That’s so weird
But I didn't
I love how everyone who has ever died is in these realms and the chances of seeing someone you know is basically 0 but Dante sees all of his friends lol.
As far as the story goes, it could be argued that this is because his experience is guided by God through Virgil and Beatrice.
@@erickoob8949 yo facts
Well it is a fictitious poem, although Dante made himself the main character he obviously didn't go to hell did he 😂
People were dropping like flies back in the day
Actually, this is explained later in Paradise: God made it this way - and not just people Dante knows, but FAMOUS people he knows - so that the tale of his journey will resonate more with those who’ll read it.
It gets me Dante goes on this soul searching journey through the realms of the afterlife in his fucking pajamas.
Well gotta wear something comfy
When the shrooms hit and you leave this reality, ya gotta make sure you're wearing something comfy
I sleep in my Carhartt jeans and jacket with my boots on just in case
It's a lot like a Christmas carol in that way or rather I should say that a Christmas Carol is a lot like The Divine comedy in that way
@@BEZERKSTUDIOS718 imagine a crossover between divinia comedia and a Christmas carol
Fun Fact: The color black and blue mentioned around 14:56 is akin to the color of a bruise. It is believe that envy bruises one's own soul.
Edit 1: The smog at 18:10 represents how wrath can blind one's own self. Hence, the term, blinded by rage.
Edit 2: The ones on the terrace of sloth run in circles. Given that their spirits are slothful in life, they have to make it active here.
Me, a fan of Dante's Divine Adventures: I have waited for half a year, no, nine months for this.
Dante's divine adventures sounds like an anime or cartoon adaptation of the divine comedy.
I'm currently reading the Divine Comedy, I'm on Canto 21 of Paradiso
same 9 months
You know it's available to read for yourself, right? 😉
@@silasfrisenette9226 the thing is I have read this (the whole 3 parts of Divine Comedy) back in high school, roughly 12 years ago. Hence, that's why I am a fan of it. :3
One thing that has always piqued my interest about the Divine Comedy, and thus the 7 Deadly Sins (and several of the Virtues, for that matter) is that they all break down to Pride in one way or another... Greed (I deserve it, you can't have it), Lust (I deserve it, I will take it), Envy (I deserve it, I want it), Gluttony (I deserve it, I'll ingest it), Wrath(I'm better, I'm right, you're wrong, and I'll prove it by breaking your face), Sloth (I'm better and I don't have to do anything that you can't do for me). In every case, the underlying sin is "it's all about me" in one way or the other.
This is actually a really good perspective on it.
I think that's because the greatest sin of all is being a leech on society; the "worst" human, especially in older, smaller societies, would be the one who didn't contribute, but only took. I don't agree that Pride is necessarily the root motivation for the rest of the sins (sometimes you just want to munch food for example, not because you think you're better than everyone else, but just because .. Well food!!!), but I see why pride may seem connected; what I think all of these share is the focus on one's self. None of them make humans that contribute to society (a sloth won't work in the field), but rather humans that break down society or takes more than they give 🤔
Wrath and Envy are the two emotions (well possible Lust as well) that are a bit separated from the concept of a "productive human being" versus af "draining member of society", but both are emotions that can somehow interrupt society - Envy can make you stuck in an unproductive loop, and wrath will obviously also create issues .. I like to draw back principles in religion to the earliest societies, and I definitely see the sins as symptomatic of what you WOULDN'T want in your tribe; dispute and draining of ressources
This is quite possibly why Pride is the first terrace, supporting the other six. (I'm pretty sure this is mentioned by John Ciardi in his translation of the Comedy, which is wonderfully, wonderfully footnoted.) Similarly, Sloth is placed centrally, representing knowing the right thing to do and not doing it.
Touché
Oh man ive been waiting for this!!
Same here dude!!!!!
SAAAAMEEEE
Same
Me too!!
Same bro!! Love this dudes videos
It's fitting that you left us in Purgatory waiting on part 3, which will complete the series, and give us peace.
Virgil seems like that one friend who says he does this every weekend but in the middle of the journey turns out it’s his first time too. Not a great friend to have
This is really The Descent
To really take a moment to appreciate how imaginative Dante was to create this trio is astounding. I stand in awe. I stand also in awe of these videos breaking down these worlds to where anyone can understand it enough to walk along with Dante. I’m sure he’d be grateful.
Appreciate it man, I loved purgatory the most out of Dante’s work. And your work is certainly going to help me understand his work more.
Basically Dante wrote an elaborate middle finger to Florence......
Really ???
Now how is that?!
I love this thought a lot!
Thank you!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🦭🌹
Well, at least his political rivals who exiled him.
@@dagmarmayenberger414 The video doesn't that deep into it, but he punishes anyone he disagreed with in real life
It’s a fan fiction where everyone he dislikes or disagrees with is suffering in hell and the ones he admired praise him.
Or rather florentine politics
It’s insane how excited I am for this. But now I have to wait 9 months again for part 3
9 months is optimistic but Christmas miracles do happen.
@@MythologyFictionExplained who draws these?
@@MythologyFictionExplained sir siiiiiiiiir please when will it come out???
It's been a year and NOTHING
Finally!
Can’t wait for part 3!
Oh boy finally, iv been waiting for part 2 and i loved the first one
Hey so I made the video, I'll see you guys & gals in 2025 for part 3
Hahaha I'll be waiting!
That's too far bro
Thanks anyways... If i had a thousand accounts on RUclips i would have subscribed and like all your videos with all of them
Love this man, and please take all the time you need.
I’ll be waiting
incidentally I saw pt. 1 just yesterday, & today pt. 2 has been made available! waddling from Hell to Purgatory with such luck.. Heaven seems far away, though..
It always does.
Or watching He'll and Purgatory waddling to their true places respectively and the Old Heaven fading away whilst a new Heaven and Earth are formed...
I discovered your channel by your Dante’s Inferno video while recovering from covid this past December and immediately subscribed. These are such fascinating stories that I admittedly were unfamiliar with. Thank you for such great videos on this topic!
I had covid last year as well. It was really awful and it annoys me when people claim it's a "conspiracy theory". I listened to part one on the 7th of march, the night before I went to rehab
@@starrchild254 I’m glad you are okay and made it through Covid, it definitely is no joke. I 100% share your annoyances with the doubts about it being real. On another note though regarding you mentioning rehab, I’m not sure where you’re at in your recovery but I do wish you all the best and send much positivity your way🙂
@@Jena-cc6os were you vaxxed?
@@starrchild254 COVID is real but the idea behind becoming a sheep because of it is pathetic
As a catholic this is both terrifying yet actually reassuring at the same time
Same
I find it more of a relief than terrifying because it is a story of a chance at redemption. If Heaven, Purgatory, Hell exist the way Dante describes them, I would be relieved if I landed in Purgatory. It just means it's a matter of time before I get into Heaven. I haven't lived a perfect life, but I've done what I can to help others. If I landed in Hell... Well.... Game Over.
I wonder where Dante would place me as an unbaptized atheist? It would be interesting to see how judgemental the man is, if he’d be shocked by my lack of faith, or if he would rather look beyond it.
@@345635356 I'm sorry to let you know that unbaptized people are put in the limbo (before inferno). Virgilio for example is one of them, he lived far before the believing of God as we know it
I don't know if it's something unique but Dante's Divina Commedia it's an actual subject that is teached at school in the course of 3 years (inferno, purgatorio, paradiso)
@@345635356In the limbo they will forever fell a sense of emptyness because they want to meet God, but this hope won't ever realize
The only exception Dante does in this regard is putting Cantone da Utica as the guardian of the anti purgatorio (the beach before the purgatory) wich died in 44 DC by suicide. It sound like a controsense but Dante interpret his life in a more Christian way.
Anyway don't just belive me, search something and you will probably find it interesting
Sadly the fact that is teached in school to us makes it a lot less interesting and I can't appreciate it properly
Old school interpretations of Heaven and Hell sound like a real pyramid scheme.
This ain't old school. This is now
Excellent observation. Dante's absolutely carnal and legalist (mis)interpretations of the Scripture, none of which is true. That's how false preachers manipulate and intimidate ignorant alleged Christians even nowadays.
@@tatianasilva7133 he is right and has been for 700 years
@@ZiraRisasi I belive some of his societal criticisms are valid and quite revolutionary, such as his exposure of corrupt popes back in the day. But from the Scriptural approach, it's extremely faulty.
@@tatianasilva7133 Dante interpreted many different classical and Christian sources in whatever ways best fit the narrative of his epic. The Divine Comedy was never meant to be an exegesis.
It's been 84 years
I've waited for this so much
Same here
Me tu Brutus
read the book mprons gee
I guess it’s nice to know that someone can still go to heaven if they walk all the way through Hell.
No. Go to helll you're there to eternity as it says in the hell part 1 of this. You can escape purgatory though by learning the error of your ways....
And this my friend is shadow work, lol
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this while falling asleep since this has been uploaded. Been waiting for Pt 2. Thanks!
I've been waiting for this since I've learned of the inferno. And that you had enough interest in it to present it to me in such aknolegable faction. Ive waited atleast half a year for a video and ( before I watch) I feel you do a bang up job my brudda
*dances enthusiastically, because I have been waiting for this*
So glad part 2 came up. Just like with Inferno, I’m thankful you went through the effort of going through the story and making it more accessible! I can’t wait for part 3, and although I’d wait another 6 months for it, I sure hope it comes out a lot sooner.
In any case, great work! Happy to live in times where passionate people such as yourself make literature and education so accessible to those who have less time reading through the original works!
Thanks for your pristine service! This brought me a deep reminder of what matters in this life and what to improve in myself as a human being. I truly appreciated your gift!
I just found your channel about a week ago and have binge watched almost everything and you now have a new follower
Who else played Dante's Inferno? You can watch the animated movie if you never played the game. It's pretty cool, seeing the 9 circles of hell.
Always wished they would have come out with a second game
I personally liked it better than God of War. I don't care what anyone thinks of me for that.
Being of Catholic faith I related with Dante's Inferno better. It kinda felt like more than just mythology, to have your faith inside a game it was as if you were actually walking through it all. Just my personal preference.
The animated movie... non stop Dante screaming out "BEATRICE!" Also its amazing how fast he can save the souls with a cross.
Haven’t finished the game yet but soon hopefully
I beat it like four time and would love to get the chance to play it again.. never gets old
Please make Part 3 Heaven. Really enjoyed how you explained Dante’s journey.
He doesnt have 50k likes
@@jaroncooper9013 why is he even waiting for that?! 😠
@@ametrineambrosia4929 So he knows that people are interested in the series. If you haven already, check out "Wendigoon". He covers purgatorio and paradiso EXTENSIVELY. Have fun
It's been a year! Com’on y’all, let's get these likes in!!
Thank you for creating these videos. Making these stories accessible to all, especially those who are less likely to read the written works, is truly a great cause. You do a phenomenal job, can’t wait for more. 🙏
I just started reading this and It was so confusing. You are a lifesaver. Thank you so much!
I know right. Just to make it easier for you try reading the Holy Bible and have faith and I will guarantee you it will be easier to read. It worked for me and I’ll guarantee it will work for you too.
I’ve never heard of this section of Divine Comedy. Glad to know
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This follow-up video is for me the most awaited thing this year.
Finally!! Thank you so much!
This was incredible. Thank you so much for all of your hard work. You have one of the greatest summaries and storytelling styles
I've been waiting for this for so long
I wanted to say that the sacrifice you've made in order to pass the torch of knowledge is noted, and will not be forgotten. With what you've shown me, I know now that Dantes' Paradiso is all that remains. It has been important to me to understand these works for a long time, and through you, I've accomplished that. One day I'll have a lot of resources; I'll be making sure they go to men like yourself. Either we pay royalties to those trying to help the human race, or that engine of hope seizes. Ciao, and until the future comes on.
The complexity of this book reminds me of ancient Egypt (also highly complex)
F I N A L L Y. I loved the first one and I have been waiting for this one. T H A N K you for creating and continuing this!
This is one good looking video. Lovely work, as always!
Finally! Been waiting for the epic part 2! Thank you for commiting to continue this journey! We appreciate you!
I am so glad i found this channel, i admire the way you explain with such an amazing art to back up the myths
Dude please.. please just make the next part.. you’re such a good story teller. Please be good to us.
He hates us. We will never get it.
Virgil was truly a good friend. I'm actually sad that he's gone. I wonder where he went after he left Dante because he promised to not go back to the first circle of hell. 💔
I like to think he stayed at purgatory and was given a chance.
i think Virgil actually stayed in purgatory, because he had lived before christ was born. but since he died prior to christ's birth, he cannot be allowed in heaven.
WHERES PART THREE 🥹🥹🥹 my nighttime routine has been these two over the past year!!! Pls don’t make me wait any longer 🥲🥲🥲
Really enjoyed your past vid about Inferno, very happy to see that your video on Purgatorio is now here! Great work as always!
Thank you for making this channel. I have never heard the story of Dante until now. It's very interesting!
Your awesome storytelling and Dante, perfect!
I’ve been checking every month for like half a year. I love this and we need paradiso
Yaas, waited patiently for part 2. Thanks
19:01
This guy is spitting facts. I hope some people actually learn something from this video.
Please please make part 3, I love this series and watch it all the time
What a great start to my day. I am always looking forward to seeing another video from you and this was amazimg as usual. Cannot wait to see the next. Keep up all the great work. Thank you. Keep safe
Thank you very much for not just releasing Part 2 but also for putting so much effort into this video, making it over 30 minutes long!
Love these stories, keep it up

I've always loved this story, but never got past Inferno. Thanks for this amazing video!
WOOOOOOOO BEEN WAITIN
Do part three please. Your analysis was amazing.
THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG!!!!!!!
ITS FINALLY OUTTTTT WOOHOOO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THISSSD
Virgil is that friend we all want.
I just ordered the book because I knew pt 2 would take a long time but wow . . .such a coincidence!
I LOVE that you have a "previous in the divine comedy" summary first! I pondered whether I should rewatch it all
I actually hope this would continue. Excited
Thanks for the effort on this one. It was awesome, I hope the amount of likes can be pumped up over the next several months to get the ultimate finale to the series. Also, if I may toss out a recommendation for the future, I think a version of Milton's Paradise Lost would be out of this world cool. Keep up the outstanding work!!!!
I thought u might have given up on this series, but I’m so glad I was wrong. Thanks for the awesome video!!!!
Oh c'mon, we've been waiting forever just for this video, please make a part 3, you explain the books so well. 🙏🙏🙏
Brilliant work, thank you for taking the time to supply us with this content!!
Sooo excited been waiting for this forever, I thought he’d forgotten lol.
Yooooo, I watched part 1 about 2 weeks ago, I’m surprised to see that it came out just in time for me lol
Omg my wish came true! I really needed this rn!!! Thank you!
Finally, I’ve been waiting for this since part 1.
Finally, the one reason that got me to subscribe to the channel xD
It's time for a part 3 my friend
Awesome. Appreciate the synopsis. Excited for the next part.
this is one of the best descriptions/analysis of a poem i have ever heard or read
where is part 3
Virgil - Guides Dante through hell and purgatory while interacting with angels, all to lead Dante to Heaven.
Also Virgil - I don't believe in God, so I'm handing you off to this chick so she can take you to God.
Always thought of this
So glad you uploaded part 2, great stuff!
I never am the one to watch things like this but you talk and explain everything to vividly. Amazing job man. Waiting on that part 3.
Wow you guys took FOREVER to continue this...but that must mean you worked really hard on it ☺can't wait to watch the next one!...seriously I can't😭😂
Is it real or fake
We've been waiting for this one for whole ten months.
OH MY GOD, I've been waiting for this for so long!
Been waiting for this!!! Super excited 😊👍🏽
I advise anyone that has the remotest interest in Dante's Divine Comedy to watch Part 1 &2. They are so good at explain Dante's journey. I just hope now it reaches 50K likes.
Funny how almost 500k people have watched this but less than 10% left a like... Do you not want a part 3?
RIGHT
I didnt even knew there was more of this story en where is his wife who would be princes of hell?
This is exactly what we’ve been waiting for!
Yes! Thanks so much, being waiting for this!!!
I just heard Dante on the news as a storm in my country now, seeing this here literally spoiled me
Guys please more likes, we need part 3
Yes It's Finally Here Thank you!
