Cantos

A canto is a division within a long poetic work, similar to a chapter in a book. It helps organize the poem into manageable sections, making it easier to read and follow. In well-known epics like Dante’s "Divine Comedy," each canto focuses on a specific scene or moment, guiding the reader through the story's themes and events. Cantos vary in length and structure but serve as a framework that enhances clarity and flow in lengthy poetry.
