    Dante, a 35-year-old man, finds himself lost in the Dark Woods after straying from the True Way, feeling fearful and alone. He writes his book Inferno to enlighten others about his experiences. In the woods, he encounters three beasts that represent vices: the Leopard of Malice and Fraud, the Lion of Violence and Ambition, and the She-Wolf of Incontinence. Virgil, whom Dante knows from his poetry, guides him and says he must go through Hell to reach Heaven. Virgil mentions a Greyhound that will bring a new Italy but cannot accompany Dante all the way as reason cannot access Heaven.
