PARADISE PATTERN
***
Dante describes scene
He talks to one of the souls
Beatrice helps him
***
NOTE: Dante follows a certain pattern in Paradise: 1) When Dante arrives at a new planet or star, he describes the scene. 2) Dante then talks to one of the souls on the planet or star. 3) Dante then talks with Beatrice about any questions that he has, and Beatrice answers his questions. Note on illustration: Painting depicting Dante and Beatrice by Ary Scheffer.
