Why is the Divine Comedy called a vision?
Dante's Divine Comedy describes the 6 layers of hell and the 7 areas of heaven. In a very literal sense, it can therefore be described as a vision of afterlife. One step removed, it is also a reflection upon society at the time (early Italian Renaissance), where the description of hell reflects social ills and the description of heaven could be named a vision of an enlightened future.
Who is dido in Dante's Inferno?
Dido was a widowed Queen of Carthage in Virgil's poem of the Aeneid. She become lover to Aeneas the hero of the story but committed suicide when Aeneas abandoned her to continue his mission to establish a new civilization in Italy. Perhaps why Dante places Dido in the 2nd circle of Lust and not in circle 7: Violence with the suicides, is that Dante felt her betrayal to her deceased husband in taking Aeneas as a lover out of a lustful desire was stronger then the way of her death.

According to Dante what are the different levels of hell?
In Dante's Inferno, there are nine concentric circles of hell, each representing a different sin and punishment. The levels go from Limbo (where unbaptized souls reside) to the deepest level, where Satan is trapped in ice at the center of the Earth. Each circle punishes different sins, such as lust, gluttony, greed, wrath, heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery.
How many circles of hell are there?
In Dante Alighieri's Divina Commedia there are nine circles of Hell. Allegorically, the Inferno represents the Christian soul seeing sin for what it really is, and the three beasts (a lion, a leopard, and a she-wolf) represent three types of sin: the self-indulgent, the violent, and the malicious. These three types of sin also provide the three main divisions of Dante's Hell: Upper Hell (the first 5 Circles) for the self-indulgent sins; Circles 6 and 7 for the violent sins; and Circles 8 and 9 for the malicious sins.
