Detailed explanation-1: -Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy is considered an epic masterpiece and a foundational work of the Western canon. We offer this short guide to the nine circles of Hell, as described in Dante’s Inferno. The first circle is home to the unbaptized and virtuous pagans.
Detailed explanation-2: -The circles are concentric, representing a gradual increase in wickedness, and culminating at the centre of the earth, where Satan is held in bondage. The sinners of each circle are punished for eternity in a fashion fitting their crimes: each punishment is a contrapasso, a symbolic instance of poetic justice.
Detailed explanation-3: -Each of the 9 circles in hell represents a different sin, each with its own degree of wickedness. The punishment, which is relevant to each sin is inflicted in the corresponding circle. As Dante travels through each circle, he encounters notable figures from history who were guilty of sin.
Detailed explanation-4: -What Is the Ninth Circle of Hell? Dante’s final circle of Hell is reserved for the worst of sinners in the author’s perspective. In this last circle at the very center of the Inferno, Dante places those guilty of treachery and betrayal towards loved ones, close friends, their country, and their masters.
Detailed explanation-5: -There are four concentric zones (or “Rounds") in the ninth circle of Hell. Each are named after a notable traitor in history or mythology.
