In Episode 10 we look at the Canto 27 from Dante's Purgatory, where the main person (Dante the Pilgrim) reaches the point where his guide Virgil (symbol of rationality and world history) leaves him, and crowns him "Lord of himself".



This implies a big turning point in the whole work, in the development of the Pilgrim, and a different approach to managing his own nature and life.
