In this lecture we discuss (a) the major themes of Purgatory, especially rebirth (renaissance, renovatio); (b) the angel, Cato, Casella, and putting the past (one's body, loves, and memories) behind one's self; and (c) Manfred and the excommunicated and Belacqua and the Late-Repentant due to apathy.
Correction*: Belacqua is among the Late-Repentant: Apathetic (not Negligent as I erroneously said); the three types of Late-Repentant sinners are: (1) Apathetic (C4), (2) Unabsolved due to violent death (C5-C6), (3) Negligent (C6-C8).
