When Dante and Virgil go to the last circle which is the ninth circle of hell they see sinners in ice some are more deeper than others Then they see a giant shape in the fog and they realize that it is Satan. Half of his body is under the ice and he has bat like wings. Lucifer had one head but three faces the face in the middle was red the face on the right was yellow and the face on the left was black “when i beheld three faces on his head!
The same way, disorder means damnation. In both of the masterpieces we find the same way in conceiving coordinates and juxtaposing politics and religion, empire and church. Analogous is the way to express certain forces of nature, intimate qualities of the spirit, sublimation or degeneration of senses through animals. Dante’s Comedy and the mosaic of Otranto teem with animals and monsters: dogs, wolves, dragons, lions, sphinxes, griffins, centaurs, etc. We find all of these representations in both of the works and with the same meaning, same analogies, and same functions.
Dante Alighieri wrote Dante’s inferno in which he talks about how people end up in different levels of Hell based on their sins. Then based off those sins they receive a punishment that meets it because of the sin they committed, so they are getting what they did to others, but 1000 times worse. My own version of Dante’s levels would have only three levels. First level for those who talk behind people’s back, next level for people who are two faced, and the final level for the worst people of all, people who judo chop chromebooks. The first level of Hell is for those who talk behind people’s back.
From this point, Dante and Virgil traverse through the circles of hell, constantly berating and tormenting the souls they encounter; Virgil, more so than Dante, torments these souls and continuously encourages Dante to do the same. Virgil knowingly encourages Dante to hurt a soul that has committed suicide by instructing Dante to tear off a twig so that the souls story will be told; this once again continues the recurrence of Dante and Virgil treating various souls as spectacles. Repeatedly, the apparent goal of these spectacles is to instill a fear of sin in Dante and, therefore, instill within him a fear of God; "Look at that mighty one who comes and does not seem to shed a tear of pain." Dante, additionally, causes a soul to believe that his son is dead for his own personal gain.
67-70). Dante had traveled through several levels of Hell and has been through several pouches of circles, and when he saw the souls frozen to the pond, he was so disturbed that he could not get the image out of his mind. As they were moving through the frozen pond, Dante said: “I quaked in the internal chill; and next- / I don’t know whether by will or fate or chance- / Walking among the heads I struck my foot / Hard in the face of one, with violence / That set him weeping…”
Dante’s Inferno describes the three levels of Hell. Each level is reserved for different types of sinners. The Inferno has three beast that represents the three types of sin. The she wolf represents self-indulgence. The lion represents violence, and the leopard represents fraud.
Later, in the Ninth Circle of Hell, is a frozen lake where souls are encased in ice up to their heads. Walking on the frozen lake, Dante accidentally kicks one of the souls and when he leans down to apologize, he recognizes it to be Bocca degli Abati, an Italian traitor. Dante threatens Bocca for his traitor and proceeds to tears some of his hair out before leaving him in the ice. Virgil and Dante progress to the Second Ring, where Dante is shocked to see one sinner biting at another’s head from behind. He questions why the soul acts this way, and the sinner pauses from his chewing.
In The Inferno, Dante is wandering through a dark wilderness when he crosses paths with Virgil. Dante is relieved to see another man

When death takes its path, where do you go? Is there a Heaven or Hell, does the afterlife exist? Everybody has different beliefs, but no one knows what path we take when we are nonexistent.

In Canto IV, Dante addresses two theological issues of salvation. According to Christianity, all souls that lived sinless life but were not baptized, are denied salvation. Dante designates his first circle of hell, called Limbo, for those poor souls. In Limbo, they are not tortured, but the cannot have salvation. It was a very simple and brilliant solution.
In The Comedy, Dante the Pilgrim develops a relationship with his damned idol, Virgil, in order to journey through both Inferno and Purgatory. Even though Virgil was a good man while living, he lacked understanding of certain virtues, like pride, which prevented him from being able to reach higher levels in the afterlife. Dante the Poet’s choice to damn Virgil conveys that obeying a higher order is the way to one’s salvation. The developing relationship between Virgil and Dante the Pilgrim throughout the first two canticles brings light to the opposing separation between the two characters because of the devotion Dante has to Christian virtues in comparison to Virgil’s pagan misunderstanding of virtue. While Dante the Pilgrim experiences many
“Ughh” Dante couldn’t help but release a groan as he rubbed his eyes and attempted to regain some semblance of consciousness. What happened…? Dante sat up carefully as pain shot through his side. It was the same alleyway he had chosen to sleep in last night - dark, desolate, and unpatrolled by guards, just how he liked.
Inferno explores the descent of mankind into sin.
