Detailed explanation-1: -In Canto III, Dante sets up the intellectual structure of Hell. Hell is the place for those who deliberately, intellectually, and consciously chose an evil way of life, whereas Paradise is a place of reward for those who consciously chose a righteous way of life.
Detailed explanation-2: -In this canto, Dante explains for the first time the law of retaliation, which regulates this hellish existence. Dante and Virgil then meet Charon, the ferryman of souls, leading the damned across the River Acheron. Hell is called “city of woes”, punishment is “eternal, ” and the damned are “lost”.
Detailed explanation-3: -Essentially, Dante reveals to the observant reader that one must learn how to find unity and focus within himself in order to grow closer to God. He demonstrated this truth through the Pilgrim, and also by contrasting the disarray (both internal and external) of souls in Hell with the unity of souls in Heaven.
Detailed explanation-4: -Dante looked, and he saw their punishment: The souls were never still, for they continually chased a banner that continually moved and never took a stand. As the souls ran, hornets and wasps stung their naked bodies, and their blood and pus and tears ran down their bodies to the maggots on the ground.
