Dante finds himself lost in a dark wood at age 35. He is afraid, bewildered, and alone. He wrote The Divine Comedy to educate others about the afterlife and consequences of sin. In the wood, he encounters three beasts: a leopard, lion, and starving she-wolf. Dante already knows and admires Virgil from his writings. Virgil advises Dante that to be set right, he must pass through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Virgil mentions a greyhound will impend death on the she-wolf. However, Virgil cannot guide Dante for the entire journey as God forbids it due to Virgil's rebellion against divine law.
