I read a translation of it (not sure if the same could be said for other translations), but after each chapter was an analysis of notable lines that provided explanation, context and elaborations on what was meant, or what was entailed by the wording. It was a seriously heavy book, and took me a while to chew through, but I feel like it was worth it.
Found the translation I read
Do you know what translation of Dante you're reading? I tried to finish it it high school, but I was stopped by the difficult language. It turned out that the local bookstore I bought it from stocked only a horribly out-of-date translation. I was cleaning out my room when I found it in a drawer; it's sitting in the garbage now, because I don't want to hock it and risk anyone else being turned away from Dante because of it. The best translations are by Mark Musa and Allen Mandelbaum.
