Detailed explanation-1: -On the surface, the Wrathful fight viciously with each other, the embodiment of expressed wrath. Beneath the surface of the Marsh of Styx, the Sullen are forced to choke on their anger in the embodiment of repressed wrath.
Detailed explanation-2: -Souls who were violent toward others are condemned to be submerged in boiling blood. People who hurt themselves are pecked at by bird-women called harpies or attacked by dogs. Those who committed violent acts against God writhe in burning sand and burning rain.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the fifth circle of hell, the wrathful and the sullen suffer in the Styx river. In the river are the angry sinners, all naked and muddy, hitting each other with fury. While the sullen are submerged in the muck. The only sign of life, are the bubbles rising to the surface.
Detailed explanation-4: -There is also a lot of symbolism in the Third Circle of Hell in Dante’s Inferno. The sinners who are guilty of committing the sin of gluttony reside here and they are forced to wallow in disgusting smelling mud, are constantly pelted by endless rain, sleet, snow, and hail, and are attacked by Cerberus.
Detailed explanation-5: -Inferno XXVIII, 19-42. The poets are in the ninth chasm of the eighth circle, that of the Sowers of Discord, whose punishment is to be mutilated. Mahomet shows his entrails to Dante and Virgil while on the left stands his son Ali, his head cleft from chin to forelock.
