Is it me, or is there a substantial quality drop going from Hell to Purgatory? I thoroughly enjoyed myself in the first part, there was always something new around the corner, the horror was there, some humour in between, while there it's just souls drifting around while they climb poorly described mountain. Hardly any suffering, plenty of morality discussions and some peccata erasures. Surely the final part is an improvement, right?

Purgatory is suffering, so it shouldn't be all that different. It's just that Hell is way more varied. You have the city, the nine circles, prehell, destruction caused by Crist, and all that Purgatory has is that mountain.

Not in terms of what you may be looking for, no. The poetry is even greater, but the discussions go deeper and, well, it's Paradise.

The bit where Virgil leads Dante through the fire and then leaves him made me tear up in the middle of the library.
Fuck you Dante. Poetry writing faggot.

There's a reason why Inferno has always been more well-known by the general public than Purgatorio and Paradiso, my friend.

About to start reading Purgatory today. Any recommendations for things I should pay attention to that the translator might not emphasize?
