5. 118-120). The pilgrim takes a step forward from compassion towards Francesca, he wants to delve deeper into why this happened. Except now it seems the tone of his voice has changed, “but tell me” seems direct and objective. He does this because he now questions his actions and uses "sweet sighs" to describe the event as unfortunate. I feel like he decides to take this approach by talking to her, to seek answers for himself. Dante longs for himself and he wants to see if his feelings are justified (towards Beatrice) based on the feelings Francesca had towards Pablo. By using the word "yet", he acknowledges the eternity of this desire for more than just love towards a person, saying that once you cross that line and enter into sexual desire, you cannot more to come back.
