Sliding down Lucifer’s Back
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Virgil and Dante escape Hell by climbing first down then flipping around and climbing up Lucifer’s leg. In this way, they escape Hell and come out under the stars.
Detailed explanation-2: -Only Virgil’s bizarre use of his own body as a sled saves Dante from the rampaging demons-surely one of the strangest chase scenes in all of literature.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Virgil has to hide Dante from the demons and their grappling hooks until he strikes a deal with them to keep Dante from harm.
