An analogy I make in the book is Dante writing the "Divine Comedy."

“Abandon all hope ye who enter here,” he said, borrowing a passage from Dante’s “Divine Comedy.”

By middle age, Virgil feels “lost in a dark wood,” much like the narrator of Dante’s “The Divine Comedy.”

The tower is mentioned in Dante's poem The Divine Comedy, which was completed in 1321.

I'm not a particularly religious person, so when the concept of hell comes up my mind always goes to Dante's "Inferno," the best known section of his "Divine Comedy."
