This study examines all the characterizations of the female
personality in the Divine Comedy, including representations of
things traditionally categorized as feminine. Marianne Shapiro
treats different traditional feminine roles such as wife, lover,
and mother, and places Beatrice in the latter group. The problem of
woman is studied within the general context of medieval literature.
Shapiro's conclusions center largely upon Dante's adherence to a
generally misogynistic tradition. While in his earlier works his
concept of woman was as a comprehensive whole encompassing good and
evil, in the Comedy polarities are established and affirmed.
