Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, the entrance to Hell is a dramatic and vivid scene that sets the stage for the rest of Dante's journey through the afterlife. Here’s a detailed description of the moment when Dante and his guide, Virgil, enter Hell: Dante and Virgil approach Hell, they find themselves at the gate of the Inferno, inscribed with a foreboding message. This gate is described as being massive and imposing, marking the boundary between the world of the living and the realm of the damned.
