Detailed explanation-1: -What event in 1300 eventually tore Dante away from his beloved city of Florence? He got married.
Detailed explanation-2: -The death of the man resulted in the beginning of a long feud between the Guelphs and the Ghibellines of Florence, tearing the city asunder. This feud ultimately resulted in a great political schism that resulted in Dante’s exile, so it is no wonder that Dante treats this spirit so brutally.
