Detailed explanation-1: -He has two guides: Virgil, who leads him through the Inferno and Purgatorio, and Beatrice, who introduces him to Paradiso.
Detailed explanation-2: -Paradiso (Italian: [paraˈdiːzo]; Italian for “Paradise” or “Heaven") is the third and final part of Dante’s Divine Comedy, following the Inferno and the Purgatorio. It is an allegory telling of Dante’s journey through Heaven, guided by Beatrice, who symbolises theology.
Detailed explanation-3: -Beatrice symbolizes indirect knowledge of God, or revelation. Throughout the ascent through the heavenly spheres, Dante often looks to Beatrice, therefore, for understanding of God, as well as reassurance, until his vision is sufficiently strengthened to gaze on the divine directly.
Detailed explanation-4: -Beatrice is Dante’s muse and inspiration for writing the Divine Comedy. Thanks to Giovanni Boccaccio, the author of the Decameron and a biography on Dante, we know that Beatrice’s real identity is Bice di Folco Portinari. She married a prominent Florentine banker and died when she was only 24 years old.
