Unlike Lust, Gluttony is a self-centered sin, and, hence it is considered much more heinous. The person who condemns the sin of greed is punished in the fourth circle of hell. The Circle is divided into two groups of people- the ones who spent lavishly and those who hoarded for the great and imperial possession, which is irrelevant. Plutus, the God of Wealth, guards the inner circle of greed. It refers to people as if they lost their soul and carry a huge weight on the chest; they themselves choose to suffer to attain higher possession.
The greed indulgence of two parties has lured them in the self-pity of misery and lies, which is never enough to suffice their appetite for never-ending greed.
Hoarding and squandering have led to the indifference to come to mutual antagonism. Fifth Circle of Hell is present in the stinking, decaying water of the Styx river. In this Circle live the souls who lived their entire life wrathfully. According to the poem, Dante along with Virgil find the souls to fight each other furiously on the surface of the Styx river.
Depending on the severity of their wrathful actions they sink in the river water. It reflects the type of sins they committed in their life. People who indulged in a silent sullen lie just below the surface.
The people who were highly driven by their anger struggle deep inside in the river. The souls struggle and fight each other for eternity. They choke each other and stop each other from expressing or speaking.
The act represents their anger which when expressed would harm other people. The souls being tortured in the successive Circles committed heinous crimes and are punished with a severely tortured climate. The souls of people who denied the cores of Christianity are trapped in flaming hot tombs. The souls of people who indulged in violence are put to punishment and torture in the Seventh Circle of Hell.
It is further divided into three Rings. The souls are sent to suffer in the circles depending on the severity of their violence. The First Ring tortured souls of people who are violent against their neighbors. The Second Ring torments the souls of people who were violent towards themselves. In the First Ring of Seventh Circle, souls of people who committed violent crimes against other humans are being tortured. It includes criminals like the murderers, tyrants, war-makers, looters and many more.
Their souls are dipped in sweltering blood and flames of the river Phlegethon. The souls are dunked in the variable depths which represent their lust for blood. Higher the sins of a person were, deeper his soul is submerged to struggle in the scorching blood. There are creatures such as Centaurs, half-human and half-horse present here. They would shoot arrows at the sinners who would try to emerge out of the boiling blood more than they are allowed.
They all are suffering and being tortured because of their never-ending desire to conquer the world. Their desire corrupted their minds and led them to kill thousands of people. In the Second Ring of Seventh Circle, the souls of people who committed suicide or attempted to do so are tortured for eternity. The souls are malformed into Thorny Gnarled tree. Harpies, half-human half-bird creatures, feeds on them.
The punishment symbolized self-hatred which dried them up and turned them into dead trees. They have no energy but are subject to cuts and bleeding just like they did in their lifetime. At the beginning of the story, a woman, Beatrice, calls for an angel to bring Virgil to guide Dante in his journey so that no harm will befall him. Here are the circles of hell in order of entrance and severity:.
After making their way through all nine circles of Hell, Dante and Virgil reach the center of Hell. Here they meet Satan, who is described as a three-headed beast. Each mouth is busy eating a specific person: the left mouth is eating Brutus, the right is eating Cassius, and the center mouth is eating Judas Iscariot. Brutus and Cassius betrayed and caused the murder of Julius Caesar, while Judas did the same to Christ. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.
