Detailed explanation-1: -And for that, Dante’s Inferno is a useful guide. In Dante’s imagined descent through hell, he reserved the Ninth Circle-the “lowest, blackest, and farthest from Heaven”-for the sin of treachery. The worst sinners, in his underworld, were the traitors-those who betrayed their loved ones, their country, and their God.
Detailed explanation-2: -Treachery was the ninth Circle of Hell. This last circle was dedicated to those people who betrayed their loved ones, friends, best friends, countries, cities, guests and even their masters. It was also the place where Lucifer’s real body was imprisoned.
Detailed explanation-3: -The definition of sin (in Dante, and in the Medieval philosophers in general) is the misdirection of love-the human will, or essentially, the direction of our beings. The latin term is “Ordo Amoris, ” and sin is thus called inordinate love.
Detailed explanation-4: -Dante’s Inferno is organized into nine different levels, each distributing a different and awful punishment to every different sin. The main sins include the seven deadly sins, “Wrath, Sloth, Lust, Greed, Pride, Gluttony, Envy”, he also included “Treachery” and “Violence”.
