/* Structure */ Link to rhyme scheme
Each of these is divided into a number of cantos (or canti) as indicated; there are 100 cantos in total. Each canto is around 130-150 lines long.
The entire work is written in ''terza rime'', a [[rhyme scheme ]] where lines, each of eleven syllables, are in groups of three (''terzine''). The first and last lines of each terzina rhyme with each other, while the second rhymes with the first and last lines of the next terzina. For example, the first three terzine of each canto have the rhyme scheme abaABA, bcbBCB, cdcCDC. Each canto ends with a single line, which rhymes with the second line of the final terzina.
