Detailed explanation-1: -Now her beauty is so majestic that it whets his appetites for more; but, more incredibly, her beauty orders his appetites to the proper order of things as established by God (and with the help of Beatrice who reminds Dante to order his desires always to God).
Detailed explanation-2: -As the woman who Dante loved in real life, Beatrice symbolizes in the poem the beauty of the highest heavens. Throughout the poem, special treatment is given to Beatrice’s eyes which, as symbols of beauty, reflect like mirrors the splendor of God.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Comedy ends with Dante’s vision of God, the source of all Light. As he ascends to the Empyrean, Dante leaves behind the astronomical image of Heaven and sees Heaven anew in a River of Light and the Celestial Rose. Dante’s salvation began with a chain of heavenly women who interceded for him.
