Dante\u2019s Divine Comedy<\/em> famously opens with the poet wakening in a dark wood. His life has seemingly taken a wrong turn. But why must he embark first on a journey through hell, before ascending Mount Purgatory, only then entering paradise? What has the way into darkness to do with the way into light? He learns to say \u2018yes\u2019 to all of reality, and that the light includes the darkness, even as tragedy is integrated into the comedy of divine life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
