J asmyne serif Divine Comedy Dante is guided by the Roman poet Virgil , who represents the epitome of human knowledge, from the dark wood through the descending circles of the pit of Hell. Passing Lucifer at the pit’s bottom, at the dead centre of the world, Dante and Virgil e merge on the beach of the island mountain of Purgatory. At the summit of Purgatory, where repentant sinners are purged of the ir sins, Virgil departs, having led Dante as far as human knowledge is able, to the thres hold of Paradise. There Dante is met by Beatrice, embodying the knowledge of divine mysteries bestowed by Grace, who leads him through the successive ascending levels of heaven to the Empyre, where he is allowed to glimpse, for a moment, the glory of God.

The greatness of the poem lies in its complex imaginative power of construction, inexhaustible wealth of poetry, and continuing significance of spiritual meanings. Thanks largely to the extraordinary influence of Petrarch a very different sort of poet and a denigrator of everything medieval, including Dante’s works, Dante’s reputation suffered a 400 year eclipse after enjoying immediate popularity in the 14th century.

The central allegory of the poem is essentially medieval, taking the form of a journey through the worlds beyond the grave with, as guides, the Roman poet Virgil and the lady of Dante’s La vita nuova. Vita nuova or The New Life), Beatrice, who symbolize reason and faith, respectively. The poem is divided into three cantiche, or narrative sections: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso.

7/8

Each section contains 33 cantos, though the Inferno has on more (34), since the very first canto serves as a prologue to the entire work. Dante, through his experience s and encounters on the journey, gains understanding of the gradations of damnation, expiation, and beatitude, and the climax of the poem is his momentary vision of God.

The Job of a Businessman The job duties of a businessman vary dramatically by industry and scale of the enterprise, but you can be certain the owner of a small or medium sized business will have his or her thumb on the pulse of the finances of the company, and play a part in managing personnel as well. Businessmen are also typically involved in business strategy, especially the marketing and pricing of the products and/or services.

Training Some businessmen have been to college, and some even have business or business administration degrees, but most small businessmen have relatively little formal business education. Many successful business men are largely self taught, having learned from experience in running a business; others went to night school or took online classes to learn more about managing a business.

Operational Duties The primary job of a businessman is to ensure the smooth operation of his business. If it is a production facility, the main duties typically revolve around maintaining the production schedule. This includes responsibilities relating to assuring a sufficient supply of raw materials, as well as enough man power and working production equipment.
