Detailed explanation-1: -As Dante explains in Convivio IV, iv, the end of human existence is happiness, and no human being could reach this end without the help and support of others.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sin, Justice, Pity and Piety As it narrates a journey through hell, Dante’s Inferno is essentially a tour of all kinds of different punishments for different sins. It is filled with spectacular, unbelievable, and grotesque punishments, but these punishments are not meant merely to deter others from sinning.
Detailed explanation-3: -Virgil displays all of the noble virtues attributed to the perfect Roman. He represents reason and wisdom, making him the perfect guide. As the journey progresses, his treatment of Dante changes, depending on the situation. Often and most importantly, Virgil is very protective of Dante.
Detailed explanation-4: -The prayer to the Virgin, uttered by Saint Bernard, requests intercession for the pilgrim that he may complete his quest to attain the “beatific vision”: a vision of the Transcendent Principle that holds the universe together, “bound by love in one volume” (Par. 33.86).
