Detailed explanation-1: -In the Vita Nuova, Dante told the story of his admiration for a Florentine woman named Beatrice. When seeing her for the first time at the age of nine, Dante fell in love, and he remained in love for the rest of his life. Years later, Beatrice died at the young age of twenty-four and Dante fell into a deep sadness.
Detailed explanation-2: -The courtly love tradition was one of the dominant ways of writing about love in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries in Italy. Francesca speaks of love in such a persuasive manner that Dante swoons. Yet she is condemned in Hell for her desire for her beloved Paolo.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, when Dante places Beatrice into the poem, she serves a two-fold purpose. On the one hand, she serves whatever literary purpose Dante has in mind, symbolizing the ideas of beauty and grace. On the other hand, she is the real-life woman from the streets of Florence who Dante loved from the time he was young.
Detailed explanation-4: -Love is a strong theme in Dante Alighieri’s Inferno. Love is treated as the source of hell. At the front gates of hell, Dante reads an inscription that tells him hell was created from the love of God in order to show sinners the importance of goodness and love.
