Detailed explanation-1: -The dark wood is an allegory for sin and salvation is symbolised by the sun behind the mountain. Dante is eventually rescued by Virgil, an ancient Roman poet, who guides him into the underworld.
Detailed explanation-2: -The darkness of the forest itself stands for corruption and sin. Before Dante can find his way through the forest to heaven, he encounters three beasts.
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: -In Inferno, Dante uses the allegory of his own journey through Hell to reflect the spiritual journey that leads to better understanding and acceptance of one’s own situation in life.
