The text explores themes of sin, repentance, and spiritual growth, illustrated through the encounters Dante has with various souls striving for salvation. The
opening of the work presents Dante and Virgil arriving at the shores of Purgatory. Upon their arrival, they are greeted by Cato of Utica, who offers guidance for their ascent up the Louteringsberg.
