The sonnet begins on Holy Thursday in the year 1300.The storyteller, Dante himself, is thirty-five years of age, and in this manner "most of the way along our life's way" (Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita) – half of the Biblical lifespan of seventy (Psalm 89:10, Vulgate; Psalm 90:10, KJV). The writer gets himself lost in a dim wood (selva oscura) before a mountain, pounced upon by three brutes (a lion, a lonza [usually rendered as "panther" or "leopon"],and a she-wolf) he can't sidestep. Not able to locate the "straight way" (diritta by means of, additionally translatable as "right route") to salvation, he is cognizant that he is demolishing himself and falling into a "profound spot" (basso loco) where the sun is quiet (l sol tace).

Dante is finally protected by the Roman artist Virgil, who cases to have been sent by Beatrice, and both of them start their voyage to the underworld. Every transgression's discipline in Inferno is a contrapasso, a typical case of graceful equity; for instance, crystal gazers need to stroll forward with their heads on in reverse, not able to see what is in store, since they attempted to see the future through taboo means.

Limbo offers numerous attributes with the Asphodel Meadows; along these lines, the guiltless doomed are rebuffed by living in an inadequate type of Heaven. Without absolution ("the gateway of the confidence that you embrace")they did not have the desire for an option that is more prominent than sound personalities can imagine. Limbo incorporates green fields and a palace with seven entryways to speak to the seven excellencies. The mansion is the residence of the most shrewd men of classical times, including Virgil himself, and in addition the Persian polymath Avicenna. In the palace Dante meets the artists Homer, Horace, Ovid, and Lucan. In the château's patio nurseries are the Amazon ruler Penthesilea; the mathematician Euclid; the researcher Pedanius Dioscorides; the statesman Cicero; the principal specialist Hippocrates; the thinkers Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Averroes; the chronicled figures Lucretia, Lucius Junius Brutus, and Julius Caesar in his part as Roman general ("in his defensive layer, hawk eyed");fanciful characters Hector, Electra, Camilla, Latinus, and Orpheus; and numerous others.
