Detailed explanation-1: -While Inferno can be read as a straightforward story about Dante’s journey through Hell, it is also a big, long allegory for man’s descent into sin. Dante represents everyone. He loses the path of salvation in a shadowy world of sin. He travels the path through Hell trying to find his way back to God’s grace.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Inferno, Dante uses the allegory of his own journey through Hell to reflect the spiritual journey that leads to better understanding and acceptance of one’s own situation in life.
Detailed explanation-3: -The three beasts are allegories of three different sins: the leopard represents lust, the lion pride, and the wolf represents avarice. While Dante goes backward to the forest, he sees a human figure and turns to it for help. Dante, however, cannot distinguish whether it is a man or a shadow.
Detailed explanation-4: -Among Dante’s contemporaries, however, the single strongest influence on his early poetry was Guido Cavalcanti, renowned not only as a poet, but also for his knowledge of natural philosophy.
