Detailed explanation-1: -“Beatrice looks up to God, and her eyes mirror Heaven. Dante looks into that mirror and finds himself gradually carried up above.” Another fascinating reference to Beatrice’s eyes comes in Canto 22 of the Paradiso. At this point in his pilgrimage, Dante is much closer to final blessedness and his vision is clearer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dante Alighieri first saw and fell in love with Beatrice Portinari when he was nine years old. He would later write about his instant love for her in Vita Nuova, saying “Behold, a deity stronger than I; who coming, shall rule over me.” He loved her from afar for the rest of her life.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Unfortunately for Beatrice, while assigned to guard the prisoners at Acre, Dante slept with a Slave Girl, who offered him “comfort” in exchange for her and her “brother’s” freedom, though Dante expressed some remorse for betraying Beatrice. Nevertheless, this infidelity caused her to lose her bet with Lucifer.
