Detailed explanation-1: -Repeatedly, Virgil tells Dante that hard work and honesty are the best ways to establish one’s reputation in life and in death.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the Inferno, Virgil is a guide and the voice of reason in the poem. He serves the purpose of reinforcing Dante’s Christian responsibilities in his pilgrimage. If it were not for his contribution, the journey may have overwhelmed Dante.
Detailed explanation-3: -He does this because his poem’s spiritual pattern is not classical but Christian: Dante’s journey to Hell represents the spiritual act of dying to the world, and hence it coincides with the season of Christ’s own death.
Detailed explanation-4: -Dante’s Inferno is set both in medieval Italy and in an imaginary, intricate version of Hell designed to warn against sin and encourage readers to have faith in God.
