RE: ADSactly Culture - IMPOSSIBLE LOVES: DANTE AND BEATRIZ

in #adsactly6 years ago

Another very attractive couple in the history of universal culture, both extraliterary and literary. I say this because, as informants, both individuals really existed and related in some way, but also, both became fictional entities. Beatriz is converted into a character by Dante, especially in his Divine Comedy, since she appears in the third stage of his journey, Paradise; and Dante himself includes himself in his creation as the main character, led by Virgil in the first two stages: Hell and Purgatory, but in the last one his guide will be precisely Beatriz, almost analogous to the Virgin Mary. In this is consecrated the devotional love of "the best artisan" (referring to writing), as Ezra Pound called Dante. Thank you for your illustrative post, @nancybriti, very well accompanied by visual images, and of course also @adsactly for promoting it.
