= Make a poster of what hell looks like based on the text.

Here in our poster we can see in general what hell looks like.

In first circle, Limbo, this is where virtuous non-Chistians and


unbaptized pagans who are punished with eternity in an inferior form of
Heaven. Dante sees many prominent people like Julius Caesar, Aristotle
and etc. They live in a castle with seven gates which symbolize the seven
virtues.

In second circle, Lust, there are people who punished by being blown
violently back and forth by strong winds, preventing them from finding
peace and rest. That symbolizes the restlessness of a person who is led by
the desire for fleshly pleasure or those who were overcome by lust.

In third circle, Gluttony, souls of people who eats too much or the
gluttons are overlooked by a worm-monster Cerberus. They are punished
by being forced to lie in a vile slush that is produced by never-ending icy
rain. The vile slush symbolizes personal degradation of one who
overindulges in food, drink, and other worldly pleasures, while the
inability to see others lying nearby represents the gluttons’ selfishness
and coldness.

In fourth circle, Greed, there are souls who are punished for greed. Two
groups--- those who hoarded possessions and those who lavishly spent it-
jousting. They use great weights as a weapon, pushing it with their chests
which symbolizes their selfish drive for fortune during their lifetime.

In fifth circle,Anger, this is where the wrathful and sullen are punished
for their sins. The punishment reflects the type of the sin committed
during their lifetime.

In sixth circle, Heresy, there are heretics who are condemned to eternity
in flaming tombs. Sinners are trapped in burning tombs, and they suffer
“horrible pain”.

In seventh circle, Violence, it is divided into three rings.


+ Outer ring, murderers and others who were violent to other people and
property, sank into a river of boiling blood and fire.
+ Middle ring, suicides who have been turned into trees and bushes
which are fed upon by harpies (part woman-part bird), also profligates
that is chased and torn into pieces by dogs.
+ Inner ring, there ae blasphemers and sodomites, residing in a desert of
burning rain falling from the sky.

In eight circle, Fraud, there are this creature called Geryon, a flying
monster with different natures just like the fraudulent.
+ Panderers, seducer + flatterers + guilty of simony + sorcerers ad false
prophets + housed corrupt politicians + hpocrites + thieves + evil
counselors + divisive individuals + various falsifiers such as alchemists,
perjurers and counterfeits.

In nine circle, Treachery, it is divided into 4 rounds according to the


seriousness of the sin. All souls are frozen in an icy lake where their head
are only shown. Those who committed more severe sin are deeper within
the ice.
