Detailed explanation-1: -In Dante’s imagining of Hell, there are nine concentric circles, meaning one circle within the other. Each circle has different punishments that are based on the sin that a person commits. As Dante and Virgil move through the circles towards the center, the punishments get worse.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dante describes Hell as a funnel or inverted cone descending in nine diminishing rings until the center of the earth (also the center of the universe in the geocentric understanding of his day) is reached.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Dante’s Inferno, contrapasso (or, in modern Italian, contrappasso, from Latin contra and patior, meaning “suffer the opposite") is the punishment of souls “by a process either resembling or contrasting with the sin itself.” A similar process occurs in the Purgatorio.
Detailed explanation-4: -First Circle (Limbo): Here reside the unbaptized and the virtuous pagans, who, though not sinful, did not accept Christ. They are not punished in an active sense, bur rather grieve only their separation from God, without hope of reconciliation.
Detailed explanation-5: -First Circle: Limbo. Second Circle: Lust. Third Circle: Gluttony. Fourth Circle: Greed. Fifth Circle: Anger. Sixth Circle: Heresy. Seventh Circle: Violence. Eighth Circle: Fraud. More items
