The great love Beatrice feels for Dante generates sorrow in her heart when she finds out that he is wandering in the shadowed forest, a symbol of sin. Thus, Beatrice descends from Heaven to help his ‘friend’. She does not disdain her coming to the Limbo. How pure must the love which puts the other before the self be. (Alessandra Durante)
