[Canto 20]
"God grant you benefit of this book" This Dante's warning to us to avoid hell. This can suggest that the point of this book is to scare us and resist the urge to sin. Dante also may be aware that he is going to hell and is now praising god.
[Canto 21]
"Pulled me across toward him from where I stood." Even Virgil knows that Dante is going to hell so he is keeping him away from the beings that are there right now so they don't take him in early.
[Canto 22]
"Guided by land or star! We journeyed now with the ten demons." This could be an allusion to the three wise men who where knew by the a star that baby Jesus was born. Dante is the guidance and signal star that the demons are waiting for so they can take him.
