Describing Dante's descent into Hell midway through his life with Virgil as a guide, 'Inferno' depicts a cruel underworld in which desperate figures are condemned to eternal damnation for committing 1 or more of 7 deadly sins. As he descends through 9 concentric circles of increasingly agonising torture, Dante encounters doomed souls.
