Hello mi name is Alan, We begin with the history of
this book
HELL
The work begins with these verses, halfway through
my wandering life, I found myself in the dark jungle
where my path was lost, in this part Dante is already in
the dark jungle.
dark forest:
Dante does not know how he got to the dark jungle,
this jungle is a gloomy and gloomy place that Dante
said that not even death itself scared him so much.
The dark jungle represents sin, it symbolizes the wrong
path, a lost path, as they said, Dante was lost, it was a
very dark place then, when Dante heard some roars /
roars which were three beasts which are:
LOBA: that represents the disordered passion of greed.
PANTHER: which represents the disordered passion of
lust.
LEÓN: which represents the disordered passion of
pride.
VIRGIL'S APPEARANCE:
When Dante was chased by these three beasts, Dante
saw a light that illuminated the entire dark jungle. This
light was Virgil.
 When Virgilio met Dante, Dante gave him his trust,
then Virgilio took him by the hand and led him to the
Aqueronte river.
AQUERON RIVER:
This river represents the river of the dead, this river is
the accumulation of all the pain of the people, that is
why the pain and crying are heard, these cries are a
harbinger of what will be hell.
In order to cross this river they needed the help of
Aqueronte, the boatman of the Aqueronte river.
When they reached the end of the river, they got out of
the boat and went to the river bank, then they saw a
cave that said the city of tears is going for me, the city
of pain is going for me, and eternal perdition is going
for me. which was hell also said that in hell there is no
hope.
Then our heroic protagonists head towards hell itself.
FIRST CIRCLE OF HELL:
In this place are those people who could not be
baptized and those who could not know the word of
God because they were born a long time ago but were
virtuous people.
The punishment given to these people is that they will
never be able to see God but they also suffer because
this place is a dark place.
SECOND CIRCLE OF HELL:
In this place are the incontinent sinners and particularly
the lustful, this means that they are people who indulge
in unbridled sexual pleasures.
In this place strong storms occur that strongly drag
from one place to another and hit these sinners.
THIRD CIRCLE OF HELL:
In this circle are the incontinent who did not know how
to control their emotions.
But mostly gluttonous people who did not know how to
control their diet are found here.
They are immersed in the mud, under an incessant rain
of hail and snow, and attacked by Cerberus.
FOURTH CIRCLE OF HELL:
The fourth circle is guarded by Pluto, the Roman god
of wealth.
In this place are the prodigals who squandered their
goods in vain.
There are also the misers who only cared about getting
more goods regardless of price or cost.
Condemned to roll heavy rocks from the sides of the
valley until they collided in the center. Among the
condemned there are numerous clergymen, cardinals
and popes.
FIFTH CIRCLE OF HELL:
Here are the wrathful people full of rages.
Here are the lazy people who did not take advantage of
their life on earth.
The wrathful are immersed in the mire of their anger,
condemned to hit each other. Sloths drown sunk but
don't die feel like dying but that can't happen.
SIXTH CIRCLE OF HELL:
In the sixth circle, heretics are condemned, those who
went against the beliefs of the Catholic Church,
regardless of whether they believed in Christ.
Heretics are found in graves being burned, they can't
get out of this place and bound in chains.
SEVENTH CIRCLE OF HELL:
Here those who commit violence against their neighbor
are punished, those who are violent with themselves
and with God.
They are punished in the Phlegeton, a river full of
blood that seethes.
And above them tongues of fire with sulfur fall.
EIGHTH CIRCLE OF HELL:
In the last ditch of the eighth circle, counterfeiters are
punished, those who counterfeited metals, people,
money or words in life.
These are submerged in a well full of snakes and other
terrible beasts that torment them.
NINTH CIRCLE:
In this circle are the treacherous, those who betrayed
the beings who helped them and gave their hand.
Traitors are punished by being cast supine on the ice,
which covers all but their faces.
LUCIFER'S KINGDOM:
According to Dante, Lucifer is a being with 3 heads,
these are dragon, snake body and bat wings.
These heads are the opposite of the holy trinity.
These 3 heads of lucifer have crushed by their jaws 3
traitors to Brutus, Casio and in the main head is Judas.
PURGATORY
Purgatory is the place in the underworld where souls
purify their sins in order to aspire to heaven.
This place is for people who repented but still sinned.
When Dante arrives in purgatory, an angel marks him
with his flaming sword 7 p on his forehead, which
represented the 7 deadly sins.
As Dante goes up the ledge, a p is being erased from
his forehead, this means that he is being purified.
CORNICE OF PRIDE
The arrogant are forced to carry heavy stones and their
backs are like lead. This means that they are always
hunched over. Being always hunched over is
synonymous with humiliation. At the end of the tour, a
p is erased from Dante's forehead.
CORNICE OF ENVY:
The envious have their eyes sewn with wires because
envy enters through the eyes. Seeing all this happened,
another p was erased from Dante's forehead.
CORNER OF WRATH:
The wrathful are punished by preventing them from
breathing because their anger is suffocating them. After
seeing this, the angel of peace, which is the opposite of
anger, erases the third p from Dante's forehead.
SLOTH CORNICE:
For the lazy, the punishment they had was to run and
run until they reached the mercy of God. Then came
the angel of the stagecoach.
CORNICE OF GREED:
The miser is not fair therefore it is unfair so their walk
is unbalanced and they do not stop falling. Then the
angel of justice came and took the fifth p.
CORNICE OF GULA:
Those with a sweet tooth are punished they cannot eat,
they are around juicy apples so the angels warned them
that if they eat they will die forever. Then the angel of
abstinence came purifying him and vanishing the sixth
p.
CORNICE OF LUST:
The lustful lovers of the flesh will have to go through
columns of fire to purify themselves.
Dante did not want to cross for fear but Virgilio told
him that passing the ledge he could meet his beloved
Beatriz.

PARADISE
From this moment Virgilio will no longer be the
companion of our hero but will be Beatriz.
MOON:
On the moon are the negligent, those who made vows
to God, but the storms and problems of the world made
them forget their vows.
MERCURY:
The famous are those who, although they did good
deeds, made them public.
VENUS:
In this place are those people who loved their neighbor,
their brother, the people around them.
SUN:
In this place the wise abound since the light of the sun
is synonymous with wisdom.
MARS:
In this place live the martyrs of Christianity, those who
gave their lives for God.
JUPITER:
In this sky are the just, especially the politicians who
were just.
SATURN:
In this place the contemplative souls live, the souls that
have overcome the sin of the world.
STARS:
The triumphant spirits are those who triumphed against
evil.
CRYSTAL SKY
In this place is Jesus and his entourage who adore him
for eternity singing Hosanna praise God.
EMPYREAL:
In order to enter the empyrean, Saint Bernard
accompanies Dante to reach the presence of God.
The empyrean is the holy trinity.
When Dante reaches the empyrean, he sees God, he
was speechless, he did not know what to do or say
because the knowledge he had did not compare with
the beauty of God.
REFLECTION
I think that it is a very good concept of hell and its
punishments around the sins that we commit, it
represents life and how insignificant it is. It leaves a
very good reflection on the day to day and our
inevitable destiny.
I really liked the work because it made me reflect on
how a life of 90 or 80 years can ruin eternal life
In the sociocultural aspect, I think that if we all found
out about this work, we would live together since this
book is of great reflection, especially when committing
our acts, since it makes us see how horrible
punishments we can have because of our own acts.
