Circles In Dante's Inferno

In Cantos 2-10, Dante organizes hell by circles and ranks. Circle I is called the limbo in this circle, Dante wakes up to find out he is at Acheron and Virgil leads him to Limbo (The first Circle) here Dante find the unbaptized and the virtues pagans. Circle II is called The Lustful. In this circle, Dante and Virgil leave the limbo and begins their journey to the first circle of Incontinence; where punishments of Hell begins to prosper and they also find along the course of this course with Minos.This beast called Minos is the judge of all of the condemned souls to determine which level they belong. Circle III is called The Gluttonous, which is a very dark place with icy rain. In the horrible place to be Dante has some exchange of words with Ciacco.Their conversation was based upon the Black and white Guelph.

This character is essential because he is the ruler of the Underworld and through this Circle, Dante had a dangerous situation, but luckily enough for Dante, his guide through hell; Virgil was there to protect him. Circle V, which is called The Wrathful is one of the most important Circles in my opinion because is described as a place with swampy water of the Styx River. In this Circle, many events happen that were crucial to the developing of the book. An example of that is the fact that in this Circle Dante becomes more aware of his sins. As well three Furies creature came to haunt Dante, but thankfully and the angel came and fought for Dante. Circle VI, which is called The Heretics, is basically based on the exchanges of words that Dante had with souls that were trapped in flaming tombs. In this Circle, Dante a had interactions with important characters that shaped the way Dante looked at
