Detailed explanation-1: -Dante the Pilgrim weeps and suffers with those who are suffering their punishments. He reacts to Francesca’s love for Paolo, her horrible betrayal, and her punishment so strongly that he faints.
Detailed explanation-2: -While Dante’s sympathy for Paolo and Francesca remains only implicit, this sympathy translates into occasional breaks with the moral order he asserts, making Dante more lenient in the punishments he assigns. Dido, for example, was a mythological queen who committed suicide because of her unrequited love for Aeneas.
Detailed explanation-3: -Francesca’s shade tells Dante that her husband is destined for punishment in Caina–the infernal realm of familial betrayal named after Cain, who killed his brother Abel (Genesis 4:8)–for murdering her and Paolo.
Detailed explanation-4: -The sinners cause Dante to show sympathy for them because of their punishments they have to face. When Dante reaches the fortunetellers and diviners he begins to feel sympathy for them. Virgil explains, “ There is no place for pity here.
Detailed explanation-5: -Francesca di Rimini was a beautiful noble girl – destined to become a nun – but she was kidnapped and forced to marry the violent Gianciotto Malatesta, Paolo’s older brother. While living together, Paolo and Francesca fell in love.
