intercantica connections
paradiso cantos three and four
While Dante's Divine Comedy is separated into three distinct sections, the entire work of literature is just that, one long book. Even though the sections take place in different settings, many parallels can be made from one canto to another. These parallels are termed "intercantica" connections by the authors of one Dante translation, Robert Durling and Ronald Martinez. It is easy to see how some cantos relate to others from different sections of the Comedy, such as Beatrice being consistent throughout, or how the different factions of Italy, the Ghibilines and Ghelphs are spoken about. However, there are many more similarities among the different cantos than meets the eye. In Canto's three and four of the Paradise, Dante first enters into the sphere of the moon and finds Piccarda Donati. Piccarda was placed in her sphere because she failed to return to God, something that is a common three throughout the Comedy. Throughout these two cantos, Beatrice forces her views about many things upon the reader, going against past and respected philosophers. When looking closely at the work as a whole it is very easy to find connections about events and people.
