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 da Rimini and Paolo Malatesta are punished together in hell for their adultery: Francesca was married to Paolo’s brother, Gianciotto ("Crippled John").
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Like many of the other sinners in the Inferno, Francesca tries to avoid taking responsibility for her actions by blaming other people and even things.
