Dante’s girlfriend

Detailed explanation-1: -Metaphorically speaking, Beatrice is a mirror upon which divine love is reflected and, consequently, serves as the pilgrim’s bridge to salvation. She is a powerful character and a woman of action who descends into hell to call upon Virgil for his help and to instruct him to lead the pilgrim on an otherworldly journey.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Throughout Dante’s works Beatrice is a religious figure rather than an object of human love, and although her appearances in Inferno are scarce, her divine love serves as the pilgrim’s pathway to God and salvation.
