Detailed explanation-1: -He has two guides: Virgil, who leads him through the Inferno and Purgatorio, and Beatrice, who introduces him to Paradiso.
Detailed explanation-2: -Virgil remains Dante’s guide all the way through Purgatory; yet we know that reason alone is not enough to gain access to Purgatory. If Virgil is simply a symbol of reason, then he is a wholly unsuitable guide in this realm.
Detailed explanation-3: -Virgil is the guide in Dante’s poem because he served in that role in Dante’s life. It was Virgil, and not Aristotle or Aquinas, who served as model for the poem; it was Virgil who, more than any other author, helped make Dante Dante.
Detailed explanation-4: -Publius Vergilius Maro, usually called Virgil or Vergil (70 BC – 19 BC) was the once famous Roman poet who was now “Pure spirit” and acted as Dante’s guide in Hell.
Detailed explanation-5: -Virgil, a poet of the first century B.C.E., accompanies Dante through Purgatory as a guide, leader, and father figure. Virgil is wise, patient, and loving, though he can also be stern, warning Dante not to waste precious time on his journey.
