Beatrice explains to Dante that there are no alternatives to honoring a vow once it’s made. The reason is that free will is God’s greatest gift but we surrender an aspect of it when we commit to a vow.
She also explains that evil vows should dishonored because they shouldn’t be made in the first place. She uses Agamemnon sacrificing his daughter as an example of that evil kind of vow.
