Detailed explanation-1: -But Dante was also a humanist. He was concerned for humanity even beyond his theological borders, seeking to teach all people the path to virtue. Nowhere is this more clear than in the Inferno. He was the first, as far as we know, to place a cluster of avowedly non-Christians in limbo rather than damn them all to hell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dante was no humanist but his writings did begin to shift the focus on religious matters which had marked the medieval period towards a consideration of more earthly affairs with humanity at its centre.
Detailed explanation-3: -Virgil displays all of the noble virtues attributed to the perfect Roman. He represents reason and wisdom, making him the perfect guide. As the journey progresses, his treatment of Dante changes, depending on the situation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Dante’s “Inferno” is full of themes. But the most frequent is that of the weakness of human nature. Dante’s descent into hell is initially so that Dante can see how he can better live his life, free of weaknesses that may ultimately be his ticket to hell.
