Thematic coherence in Dante's Divina Commedia is explored through a systematic parallel reading of its three parts: Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. Jesper Hede challenges the traditional view that the poem's unity stems from a journey through the afterworld. Instead, he posits that the vision of divine order is the key to understanding the poem's overarching themes, offering a fresh perspective on Dante's work and its intricate structure.
