Detailed explanation-1: -The souls of the uncommitted are joined in this torment by the neutral angels-those who sided with neither God nor Satan in the war in Heaven. Virgil leads Dante to a great river called Acheron, which marks the border of Hell.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Ante-Inferno contains the lost souls or “The Neutrals”, the souls of those who didn’t choose God, nor did they choose Satan after he rebelled against God. The punishment for the neutrals is to chase a blank, white banner and to be tormented by hornets and flies for all of eternity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Limbo is the first circle of Hell in Dante’s Inferno and the largest of the nine circles. Here reside the souls of virtuous pagans, who lived without sin but never knew of God or Christ.
Detailed explanation-4: -But the problems we may encounter as modern readers in understanding the arrangement and classification of sin in the Inferno XI help us to understand what Dante believed sin to be. Virgil distinguishes between three types of sin: sins of ‘incontinenza’, sins of ‘violenza’, and sins of ‘frode’.
Detailed explanation-5: -Who are souls tortured in this canto? The fallen people. Who were neither God nor Satan, but only for themselves. An example: Pope Celestine V.
