Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The leopard, lion, and she-wolf that menace Dante in his quest to get to the sunlight all represent different types of sin. Traditional interpretations have parsed the leopard as a symbol of fraudulence, the lion as a symbol of pride, and the she-wolf as a symbol of avarice or greed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Inferno I. Dante finds himself lost in a dark wood, midway through the journey of his life (i.e. at the age of 35). He sees three animals: a leopard; a lion; and a she-wolf.
Detailed explanation-4: -The she-wolf stands for avarice (extreme greed). Her wasting away seems to display her desire. She is empty and has wanted for so long that now she is desperate for anything.
