    = Make a poster of what hell looks like based on the text.

    Here in our poster we can see in general what hell looks like.

    In first circle, Limbo, this is where virtuous non-Chistians and


    unbaptized pagans who are punished with eternity in an inferior form of
    Heaven. Dante sees many prominent people like Julius Caesar, Aristotle
    and etc. They live in a castle with seven gates which symbolize the seven
    virtues.

    In second circle, Lust, there are people who punished by being blown
    violently back and forth by strong winds, preventing them from finding
    peace and rest. That symbolizes the restlessness of a person who is led by
    the desire for fleshly pleasure or those who were overcome by lust.

    In third circle, Gluttony, souls of people who eats too much or the
    gluttons are overlooked by a worm-monster Cerberus. They are punished
    by being forced to lie in a vile slush that is produced by never-ending icy
    rain. The vile slush symbolizes personal degradation of one who
    overindulges in food, drink, and other worldly pleasures, while the
    inability to see others lying nearby represents the gluttons’ selfishness
    and coldness.

    In fourth circle, Greed, there are souls who are punished for greed. Two
    groups--- those who hoarded possessions and those who lavishly spent it-
    jousting. They use great weights as a weapon, pushing it with their chests
    which symbolizes their selfish drive for fortune during their lifetime.

    In fifth circle,Anger, this is where the wrathful and sullen are punished
    for their sins. The punishment reflects the type of the sin committed
    during their lifetime.

    In sixth circle, Heresy, there are heretics who are condemned to eternity
    in flaming tombs. Sinners are trapped in burning tombs, and they suffer
    “horrible pain”.

    In seventh circle, Violence, it is divided into three rings.


    + Outer ring, murderers and others who were violent to other people and
    property, sank into a river of boiling blood and fire.
    + Middle ring, suicides who have been turned into trees and bushes
    which are fed upon by harpies (part woman-part bird), also profligates
    that is chased and torn into pieces by dogs.
    + Inner ring, there ae blasphemers and sodomites, residing in a desert of
    burning rain falling from the sky.

    In eight circle, Fraud, there are this creature called Geryon, a flying
    monster with different natures just like the fraudulent.
    + Panderers, seducer + flatterers + guilty of simony + sorcerers ad false
    prophets + housed corrupt politicians + hpocrites + thieves + evil
    counselors + divisive individuals + various falsifiers such as alchemists,
    perjurers and counterfeits.

    In nine circle, Treachery, it is divided into 4 rounds according to the


    seriousness of the sin. All souls are frozen in an icy lake where their head
    are only shown. Those who committed more severe sin are deeper within
    the ice.
