Detailed explanation-1: -In the final canto of the Inferno, Dante and Virgil leave Lucifer imprisoned in ice at the bottom of Hell and climb down his legs to come out the other side of Hell, on the opposite side of the world. It is night, so Dante and Virgil are able to “see, once more, the stars.” Inferno thus concludes on a note of hope.
Detailed explanation-2: -(Canto IX). The gate of Purgatory, Peter’s Gate, is guarded by an angel bearing a naked sword, his countenance too bright for Dante’s sight to sustain. In reply to the angel’s challenge, Virgil declares that a lady from heaven brought them there and directed them to the gate.
Detailed explanation-3: -The World of Dante. As Dante explains in the opening lines of the canticle, Purgatory is the place in which “the human spirit purges himself, and climbing to Heaven makes himself worthy.” Dante’s Purgatory consists of an island mountain, the only piece of land in the southern hemisphere.
Detailed explanation-4: -As Dante leaves Hell behind him, he and Virgil begin the next phase of their journey – towards, and eventually up, the mountain of Purgatory. Here there are terraces that spiral upwards, as the souls within each are purified from vice and prepare to enter heaven.
