Detailed explanation-1: -Virgil is a man with many good and noble virtues. He is a guide and protective to Dante’s journey in different levels of hell. Dante is a poet who does a great job on literature works and poems, because of his sympathetic and spiritual minds.
Detailed explanation-2: -Virgil says that Dante must try to summon his courage and tells him that this is the place that Virgil told him previously to expect: the place for the fallen people, those who have lost the good of intellect.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Dante’s Inferno, contrapasso (or, in modern Italian, contrappasso, from Latin contra and patior, meaning “suffer the opposite") is the punishment of souls “by a process either resembling or contrasting with the sin itself.” A similar process occurs in the Purgatorio.
Detailed explanation-4: -Virgil and Dante proceed to the Ninth Circle of Hell through the Giants’ Well, which leads to a massive drop to Cocytus, a great frozen lake. The giant Antaeus picks Virgil and Dante up and sets them down at the bottom of the well, in the lowest region of Hell.
