| | Beatrice Portinari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Beatrice's influence was far from simple inspiration, she appeared as a character in his two greatest works - La Vita Nuova and La Divina Commedia. | | | Although the details surrounding the life of Beatrice Portinari, pronounced bay'-a-treech-eh, (1266-1290) are subject to much dispute, there is little doubt she was a major influence in Dante Alighieri's life, influencing particularly his works of La Vita Nuova and La Divina Commedia. | | | Although Beatrice was most likely a very beautiful lady, her beauty is ultimately not what Dante was attracted to when he met her. |

| | Beatrice explains that when she was a living person, he was allowed to see her as she really was - a perfect human creature - and thus in loving her, he had sufficiently loved the good. | | | When Beatrice first appears to Dante, it is in a regal and wondrous introduction, during which Dante alludes to Biblical themes from The Canticles (Song of Songs) and the book of Matthew. | | | The Beatrice Portinari that Dante knew in reality was born almost a year after him. |

| | Dante's 'love' for Beatrice: A Courtly Romance |
| | Beatrice first appears as Dante's inspiration in La Nuova Vita, which Dante wrote in 1291 after her death. | | | It is here that Dante begins to shape Beatrice as a person, but as a person of his own creation; the words she speaks and the relationship between them all come from Dante's pen and not from Beatrice herself. | | | Beatrice became an object of inspiration for Dante, who wrote endlessly about her for years afterwards. |

| | John Addington Symonds: |
| | The sexcentenary of Beatrice Portinari, which was celebrated two years ago at Florence, compelled the student of Dante's life and writings once more to consider the relation of the poet to his lady. | | | Dante, conducted by Beatrice into the circle of the Celestial Rose, proclaims the same creed as Plato when he asserts that the love of a single person, leading the soul upon the way to truth, becomes the means whereby man may ascend to the contemplation of the divine under one of its eternal aspects. | | | She is also all that the poet-philosopher learned and saw and loved of beautiful or good or true; the whole of which, as springing from her influence, he carries to her credit, and worships under her sign and symbol. |

| | Remember that La Divina Commedia is a tribute to Beatrice and this Capricorn Symbol was Beatrice to Dante - she was the path in which he followed: the Capricorn Symbol is the map to the Empyrean where Dante has his epiphany of the Trinity. | | | I don't think Beatrice being late in helping Dante is actually anything to do with her as a character, but with Dante himself. | | | But while Beatrice goes to Hell for Dante, Dante-poeta is explicit that her journey to Hell is unlike any other in that it is fear- and pain-free. |

| | Beatrice and of the emotions which she excited in his soul during her short life on earth. | | | Dazzled and comforted by his wonderful vision, Dante, as he had resolved, wrote no more in praise of Beatrice until he had fully prepared himself for his great life-work --for what was to be an imperishable monument to her who was to be the protagonist of his immortal masterpiece as well as its inspiring muse. | | | Nor was there in Dante's love of Beatrice any of that overweening love of self, that excessive egotism, that convulsive passion and jealousy which are so characteristic of youthful lovers; nothing of the sensual and querulous loves which fill the pages of pagan poets and modern romancers and dramatists. |

| | The frame story is simple enough: it recounts Dante's first sight of Beatrice when he was nine and she eight all the way to Dante's mourning after her death, and his determination to write of her "that which has never been written of any woman". | | | Dante wrote the work at the suggestion of his friend, the poet Guido Cavalcanti, as a means of: first, collecting and publishing the lyrics dealing with Dante's love for Beatrice; second, explaining the autobiographical context of their composition; third, pointing out the expository structure of each lyric as an aid to careful reading. | | | A remarkable work, La Vita Nuova contains 42 brief chapters with commentaries on 25 sonnets, one ballata, and four canzoni; one canzone is left unfinished, interrupted by the death of Beatrice Portinari, Dante's life long love. |
