Virgil tells Dante:

""Here all suspicion needs must be abandoned,

All cowardice must needs be here extinct.

We to the place have come, where I have told thee

Thou shalt behold the people dolorous

Who have foregone the good of intellect."

In these lines, he is telling Dante that he must leave aside his fears and be brave. Virgil reminds Dante that they will come in contact with people who have not used their intelligence for good, some maybe not at all.

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

The "Inferno" is Part I of Dante Aligieheri's <em>Divine Comedy</em>. It is about Dante's journey through Hell with his mentor Virgil. The epic poem is comprised of 34 cantos. The first two describe Dante's approach to Hell. Canto III begins with Dante and Virgil arriving at the gates and seeing the inscription:

"Through Me Pass into the Painful City,

         Through Me Pass into Eternal Grief,

         Through Me Pass among the Lost People.

 

         Justice Moved My Master-Builder:

5         Heavenly Power First Fashioned Me

         With Highest Wisdom and with Primal Love.

 

         Before Me Nothing Was Created That  

         Was Not Eternal, and I Last Eternally.

         All Hope Abandon, You Who Enter Here."

Understandably this frightens Dante. He turns to Virgil for support and in return Virgil basically tells him that he needs to be brave because the people in Hell did not use their intelligence for good.

The following Cantos follow Dante's journey through the nine circles of Hell until they finally emerge.

<span>When Dante and Virgil encounter the Gate of Hell, they find the inscription summarized to "Abandon all hope, those who enter here". Dante is apprehensive about entering Hell in fear of losing hope, and remaining trapped. Virgil assures him that he is safe in his travel, but gives the advice to leave behind any fears or doubts when entering Hell because the suffering is divine justice for those in Hell. He gives the advice to have faith in the justice applied here, and to learn from the fates of those in Hell.</span>
