FAITH AND INTELLECT

***

Faith and intellect

Beatrice understands faith

Virgil, intellect

***

NOTE: Virgil is not a Christian, so he cannot understand faith. Beatrice is a saved soul, so she understands faith. Virgil teaches Dante important lessons regarding intellect, but Beatrice will teach Dante important lessons regarding faith.
