Detailed explanation-1: -Even though Paolo and Francesca committed adultery and therefore had to be put in the circle of the lustful, their love story is so moving that the readers conceive them as the innocent victims of a dreadful/unjust fate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Francesca describes how she and her lover, Paolo, read the tale of Lancelot and Guinevere. Moved by their reading, the two kiss, suffering tragic consequences when Francesca’s husband discovers the affair and takes their lives.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dante placed Paolo and Francesca in hell because they allowed the power of their passions, their most animal-like quality, to overcome their rationality, the thing that made them human.
