In Dante's "Inferno," Charon reacts with anger and refusal to allow Dante to cross the River Acheron. He is initially disturbed by Dante's presence, as he is a living soul and not a dead one, which goes against Charon's role of ferrying the deceased to the afterlife. Charon's reaction underscores the boundary between the living and the dead, highlighting the gravity of Dante's journey through the realms of the afterlife. Ultimately, he is compelled to take Dante across after Virgil's intervention.
