Dante's Inferno In Limbo In The Divine Comedy

Limbo exists in the theology of the Catholic Church, and is recognized as, “an afterlife condition of those who die in original sin without being assigned to the Hell of the Damned”, but is not seen as an official doctrine of the church. In The Divine Comedy: Hell, Limbo is the first of nine circles that Dante enters with his tour guide, Virgil. In Limbo, virtuous pagans, unbaptized Christians, important Greek figures, and some major characters from the Bible reside - those who reside in Limbo are said to have committed the sin of incontinence. Incontinence refers to people who lack self control and obligation to God, but have not sinned severely. A she-wolf is described in The Divine Comedy: Hell to represent incontinence, as well as lust and adultery, which are known as the irresistible sins that humans face,

The representations of sinners and important historical figures depicted by Dante in Limbo contribute to a theme of primitivity and carnal desires, and develop a setting for the entirety of hell.
In The Divine Comedy: Hell, usage of imagery depicts hell as a gloomy, terrifying city constructed with medieval architecture and a high population. In Limbo, some of the most important biblical and literary characters come to life - representing figures that Dante admires. As Dante allegorically explores the Christian soul’s view of sin and poetic justice in the afterlife, he is introduced to Virgil’s fellow residents. Virgil lives among great philosophers like Aristotle, and great poets like Homer in the first circle of hell, and facilitates Dante’s experiences with such characters. Dante
