Happy in being so like his Master in so many things, Bunyan is happy in being like his unlettered Master in this also, that the common people hear him gladly and never weary of hearing him.
It gives by far its noblest interest to Dante's noble book that we have Dante himself in every page of his book.

Dante is taken down into Hell, he is then led up through _Purgatory_, and after that still up and up into the very Paradise of God.

But that hell all the time is the hell that Dante had dug and darkened and kindled for himself.

In the Purgatory, again, we see Dante working out his own salvation with fear and trembling, God all the time working in Dante to will and to do of His good pleasure.

And then the Paradise, with all its sevenfold glory, is just that place and that life which God hath prepared for them that love Him and serve Him as Dante did.
