Detailed explanation-1: -Dante’s Inferno is an allegory or a poem or story with a hidden meaning that is usually religious or political to convey a tale of a soul’s journey through sin to salvation. In the poem, Dante and his guide Virgil travel through the nine levels of Hell in order to make it to paradise.
Detailed explanation-2: -Allegorically, the poem represents the soul’s journey towards God, beginning with the recognition and rejection of sin (Inferno), followed by the penitent Christian life (Purgatorio), which is then followed by the soul’s ascent to God (Paradiso).
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The Divine Comedy is a narrative poem written by an Italian poet, Dante Alighieri.
