I did not understand why Dante talked about Satan as being a beautiful creature. In the Canto Dante describes Satan as having three faces: one black, one yellow, and one red. Satan also has six eyes which is kind of akward and creepy. He also had wings on his chin which is wierd and gross. And bloody foam dripping from his mouth. all these disgusting description made me wonder how Satan could have once been beautiful. After some research I found that Satan was once one of gods most important angels and after trying to take the thrown of heaven from god he was sent to hell to suffer for eternity.
