Answer 1

"Through me pass into the painful city,Through me pass into eternal grief,Through me pass among the lost people...Before me nothing was created thatWas not eternal, and I last eternally.All hope abandon, you who enter here.
Anaphora is the deliberate repitition of the first part of the sentence, in this case, the phrase "Through me pass" is use of the anaphora.
The use of the anaphora effect emphasized that only one reigns supreme over hell and everybody should pass through him before they can proceed.

Answer 2

Lets see if I can top the last answer, eh? ;P

100 or more words coming right up:

At the gate of Hell the reason that Dante calls this inscription “hard to take" is obvious. He is worried due to the fact that the anaphora really drives the point home, with it's deliberate repetition of the first part of the sentence which is "Through me pass".

This emphasizes that you must pass through the gate of Hell, only thing reigns supreme and really matters in hell, and "All Hope Abandon, You Who Enter Here" meaning only one way in and only one way out.

Because the gate reigns over the land and all must pass through it, so it therefore passes judgement on all creatures who dare or are forced enter and none can ever escape the "Painful City" and the "Eternal Grief" that awaits them there beyond those blackened gates.
