Olivia Holmes shows how Dante articulated the relationship between the human and the divine as an erotic choice between two attractive women~Beatrice and the "other woman."

In doing so he reimagined the two women as not merely oppositional condensations of apparently conflicting cultural traditions but also complementary versions of the same. This visionary insight sheds new light on Dante's corpus and on the essential paradox at the poem's heart: the unabashed eroticism of Dante's turn away from the earthly in favor of the divine.…
