An analysis of the theme of love in the work of Paul Claudel, and in particular the attempts of Claudel to transform human love into divine love. The relationship between Claudel’s work and Dante’s work is examined, with a focus on the influence of Dante’s treatment of love on Claudel’s approach to the theme. The character of Beatrice is seen as the archetype of Claudel’s heroines.
