* If Ugolino is gnawing on Ruggieri's head ''forever'', then what does that mean for Ruggieri? Will there be a point where he is stuck with a massive hole in his skull and/or at least part of his brain missing? Or will he eventually be headless, and if so, what will Ugolino do next? What happens when both of them get their bodies back [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt at the Final Judgment]]? Will Ruggieri's head be restored, only for Ugolino to eventually eat it again? Or will his head remain the way it already was?

* If Ugolino is gnawing on Ruggieri's head ''forever'', then what does that mean for Ruggieri? Will there be a point where Ugolino only eat so much of his head so that he is ends up being stuck with a massive hole in his skull and/or at least part of his brain missing? Or will he Ugolino eventually be headless, and if so, eat his entire head, leaving him headless? And when Ugolino is done eating Ruggieri's head, what will Ugolino he do next? What happens when both of them get their bodies back [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt at the Final Judgment]]? Will Ruggieri's head be restored, only for Ugolino to eventually eat it again?

* When Dante passes through the fire on Mount Purgatory, Virgil isn't there and he cries. Virgil is never seen again after this. Although Virgil usually pretends otherwise, he is constantly sad due to the fact that he is forced to spend eternity in Limbo as he cannot go to heaven because he died a pagan. Virgil even mentions this explicitly in Purgatorio Canto III. While God permitted him to leave Limbo to guide Dante through hell and purgatory for a few days, he is eventually forced to return to Limbo once his job is done. Dante finally reaches heaven in the third cantica, but this means he will spend eternity separated from his guide who he only met for a few days. Meanwhile, Virgil will spend all of eternity grieving God's presence just like all of the other souls in Limbo. Although Virgil helped Dante reach heaven, he can never go to heaven himself.

* The Inferno features several elements based on UsefulNotes/{{ClassicalMythology}}, including Cerberus, the River Styx, and Plutus. Once they're at Purgatory, though, it's pretty much all Christianity-based lore. Well, since hell is where all the sinners go, then it would naturally serve as a receptacle for the blasphemous ideas of a "false religion".

* When Dante passes through the fire on Mount Purgatory, Virgil isn't there and he cries. Virgil is never seen again for the rest of the story. Virgil mentions having constant sadness which is presumably the result of the fact that he resides in Limbo and cannot go to heaven because he died a pagan. While God permitted him to leave Limbo to guide Dante through hell and purgatory for a few days, he is forced to return once Dante passes through the fire. While Dante finally reached heaven, this means he will spend all of eternity away from his favorite poet who he only met for a few days, and Virgil will spend all of eternity grieving God's presence just like all of the other souls in Limbo.
