Answer:
Dante Alighieri
Explanation:
Dante Alighieri, (Florence 1265-Ravenna 1321), Italian poet, known for writing the Divine Comedy, one of the fundamental works of universal literature for representing the transition from medieval to Renaissance thought.
In this epic poem, Dante's Alter Ego, the Pilgrim, travels through hell and purgatory to reach heaven. His journey is intended to impress readers with the consequences of sin and the glory of heaven.
The spirit of the poet Virgil, guides the Pilgrim through the circles of hell, leading the "pilgrim" where they will witness the terrible punishments that sinners must endure because of their liberal lives.
In the second section, Purgatory, the Pilgrim will meet the souls of those who wait to ascend to Heaven and do penance for their sins. In order to enter the gates of heaven, they will first have to cleanse themselves of their impurities.
In the third section, the Pilgrim reaches heaven. On his way there, he navigates through space and sees the planets, which are inhabited by saints. Witnessing the majesty of God in His true glory, the Pilgrim returns to earth to write this same poem.
