why do you think Dante makes lust a lesser sin than gluttony? - ✔✔dante was in love with beatrice,
therefore he feels lust as well, and since he is empathetic, he feels like maybe the sin isn't as bad. Dante
had respect for desire because desire can lead to God. God is love, so Dante also had respect for love.
Dante saw love as something uncontrollable whereas gluttony is controllable.
who is minos? - ✔✔beast-like "judge" of Hell- after the soul confesses to him, his tail coils up and
the number of coils corresponds with the number of circles the soul will descend into the abyss
limbo - ✔✔circle 1, includes people waiting to see if they enter heaven or descend to hell
lustful, gluttonous, avaricious - ✔✔sins of weakness- mostly harmful things we do to ourselves
wrathful, heretics, and violent - ✔✔these three circles represent sins of malice. they were
premeditated and usually involved actions toward other people
fraudulent and treacherous - ✔✔represent sins of betrayal and pride, considered the worst sins of all.
satan, who betrayed god, represents the epitome of evil.
circle 1 - ✔✔virtuous pagans- limbo
souls are not in torment, they lived without the revelation of god
circle 2 - ✔✔Lustful; just as they gave up reason to be caught up in their passions, forever are
they caught up in the wind of Hell.
, circle 3 - ✔✔the gluttonous; the garbage dump of Hell; souls here, guilty of gluttony, did nothing more
with the gifts of God than to consume food and drink--they themselves produced nothing but garbage,
and therefore, that's what they receive and live in for all time.
circle 4 - ✔✔hoarders and wasters/avaricious and prodigal; great weights, boulders, they push upon
and strain at, clashing them against each other again and again for all time.
circle 5 - ✔✔wrathful and sullen-
wrathful- trapped in filthy slime of river styx, violently attacking each other because they were angry
and violent in life
sullen- under the river Styx, those that shut out the light of sun from their lives, they forever suffer
in the darkest place in Hell.
circle 6 - ✔✔heretics; city of dis
lie in tombs, made of iron and blazing hot from great flames in and around them.
those that deny God's existence, and they don't believe in eternal life. therefore they are put to
eternal death in this vast firey cemetery.
circle 7 - ✔✔violent against: neighbors, self, and God
neighbors- They are smothered underneath the boiling-hot River of Blood, the Phlegethon. All their
violence caused bloodshed of their neighbors, therefore, they will wallow in blood themselves forever.
The centaurs stab them with spears and shoot them with arrows when they try to rise from the river.
Because of their own violence to others, now the violence is forever upon them.
violence against self- Since they destroyed their own bodies, they are denied any resemblance to a
body in Hell. Instead, their substance is the wood of trees.
violence against god- They are stretched out upon the Sand. Because these sinners were violent to God,
they feel God's wrath: a slow rain of fire from above.
violence against nature- They continually run in circles upon the fire of the sand, the wrath of nature.
