He cannot remember how he wandered away from his true path that he should be following, but he is in a fearful place, impenetrable and wild.
Detailed explanation-2: -In order to reach the light of heaven, Dante must journey through the darkness of hell, where he will see the consequences of sinning. Dante’s journey will take him from our world to that of the afterlife.
