Detailed explanation-1: -He sees three animals: a leopard; a lion; and a she-wolf. A figure appears, who Dante realises is Virgil, the Roman poet. Virgil explains that Dante will have to avoid the three beasts, and makes an enigmatic prophecy.
Detailed explanation-2: -They force Dante back into the dark forest. The three beasts are allegories of three different sins: the leopard represents lust, the lion pride, and the wolf represents avarice. While Dante goes backward to the forest, he sees a human figure and turns to it for help.
Detailed explanation-3: -The leopard, representing lust, is described as beautiful and not scary. The lion is described as enormous and represents pride. The she-wolf appears to be wasting away and represents greed. The three beasts force Dante away from Heaven and back into the dark forest.
Detailed explanation-4: -The time was at the beginning of the morning, and the sun was mounting up with all those stars, that were with him when Divine Love first moved all delightful things, so that the hour of day, and the sweet season, gave me fair hopes of that creature with the bright pelt.
