Detailed explanation-1: -For Dante, the Garden of Eden is placed at the top of Purgatory. Dante imagines that Eden is at the very antipodes of –the opposite side of the world from–Jerusalem.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the summit of Mount Purgatory is the Earthly Paradise or Garden of Eden. Allegorically, it represents the state of innocence that existed before Adam and Eve fell from grace – the state which Dante’s journey up Mount Purgatory has recaptured.
Detailed explanation-3: -’Now God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed [Adam]. And God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground-trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Detailed explanation-4: -The final terrace of Purgatory is that of Lust. Here Dante and Virgil meet Guido Guinizzelli and Arnaut Daniel, both lyric poets, and an intense, purging fire that cleanses the souls in this terrace. When the night comes upon them, they rest, and then, Dante dreams again.
