Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -First Circle or Limbo: virtuous pagans and unbaptized children; their only punishment is not being able to see God. Second to Fifth Circles: sinners of lust, gluttony, greed, and anger. Sixth Circle: heretics and atheists. Seventh Circle: sinners of violence, divided into three rings.
