Detailed explanation-1: -In the Fourth Circle of Hell, Dante and Virgil see the souls of people who are punished for greed. They are divided into two groups – those who hoarded possessions and those who lavishly spent it – jousting.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fourth Circle: Those whose concern for material goods deviated from the desired mean are punished in this circle. They include the avaricious or miserly, who hoarded possessions, and the prodigal, who squandered them.
Detailed explanation-3: -Their punishment is that they are rolling enormous weights at one another, the Wasters shouting, “Why do you hoard?” and the Hoarders shouting, “Why do you waste?” After they clash, the souls hurry their weights back again, only to repeat the action, all the while screaming.
Detailed explanation-4: -Why are the spendthrifts and hoarders faceless in the Fourth Circle? They are faceless to match their minds which are unable to distinguish between things that are valuable or not.
