Best Answer

Virgil leads Dante into a second ring of the seventh circle of hell. This is where people who commit suicide or are violent against themselves are punished. Dante and Virgil are in a forest or woods with many trees. The scene is very ominous and there is moaning in the air. Dante does not know what this is and Virgil tells Dante to break a twig of a tree. When Dante does this, the tree moans and blood flows from the tree like blood flows from a human when he or she is hurt.

Virgil then explains about how Minos places them in this circle for being violent against themselves.
