What is the protagonist’s mission in Dante’s Inferno?

To conquer the Nine Circles of Hell
To gain spiritual enlightenment
To find the truth
To escape purgatory

The correct answer is: To conquer the Nine Circles of Hell

In Dante's Inferno, the protagonist's mission is to journey through the Nine Circles of Hell in order to reach the deepest level and be reunited with his love, Beatrice. Option B, gaining spiritual enlightenment, is incorrect as the protagonist's motivation is not one of personal growth or enlightenment, but rather driven by love and a desire for redemption. Option C, finding the truth, is also incorrect as seeking truth is not the protagonist's goal, but rather a means to an end. Finally, option D, escaping purgatory, is also incorrect as the protagonist's goal is not to leave the afterlife, but rather to continue on his journey through Hell.
