The organization of purgatory follows the arrangement of the seven deadly sins: pride, envy, anger, sloth, greed and prodigality, gluttony and lust. Virgil states that training occurs mainly with the pretense of love. As Virgil states, "love must be the seedbed where all virtuous works must grow, [and] every act that deserves punishment" (Canto 17 103-05). This means that love is present in everything, both sinful and virtuous. Those of insufficient love were punished as sloths in terrace 4. The previous three terraces (pride, envy, and anger) expressed love given to evil objects or goals. The next three terraces (greed, gluttony and lust) presented excessive amounts of love compared to intrinsic good. This was the reason for the formation of the terraces, but it was not yet clear why they were not the same thing as the circles of hell. Then looking back everything became a little clearer and a sequence appeared. Purgatory focused on making the worst sins such as pride, envy and anger something easier to purify. First, pride was seen as the dominant sin. Therefore, since purgatory served to bring us closer to God, the worst sin had to be the first to be eliminated. Pushing back one's pride is something many would fail to do. This was one of the main reasons why pride (different types of fraud) was so close to the devil in Hell. Many didn't realize how much their pride hurt others around them. The next level of envy presented the feeling of relying on the help of others. The quality of envy as a sin is to cause the user to neglect his own blessing by desiring the lives of others. This was just as bad as pride, but just a little less important. The hellish version of envy was the seventh circle of violence. Envy has the qualities of what hell gave to violence: murder, suicide, blasphemy, sodomy,......middle of paper......if not in the mind.In conclusion, the organization is to demonstrate that the worst sins must be cleansed before any progress can be made. As a soul ascends, it slowly frees itself from every lighter sin. This idea is mainly described by Dante. When purgatory began, it was hard, but as it went up, it became lighter. It was not because he was cleansing him of sins, but because of the order in which he was freeing himself. He started with the worst thing (pride), and then ended with the simplest thing, but also the one that is most common to repeat (lust). Hell on the other hand was about which sin caused the most pain to others and oneself. This is why he is affected by lust, which is not harmful unless acted upon. So the worst pride is a sin that will always cause harm or, even worse, death to another person. In all, both were mirror images of the other upside down.
