Detailed explanation-3: -Divided into three major sections-Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso-the narrative traces the journey of Dante from darkness and error to the revelation of the divine light, culminating in the Beatific Vision of God.
Detailed explanation-4: -The number three also relates to sin. The three main types of sin are incontinence, violence, and fraud. A final example of Dante’s use of the number three is the specific lines of poetry Dante used for his epic work. He used a poetic form known as terza rima.
