DANTE ALIGHIERI'S INFERNO

CIRCLES 4-6

CIRCLE 4: GREED

The fourth circle, Greed, takes a page out of Ancient Greece's book by having sinners roll gigantamungous boulders at one-another while debating fruitlessly with one another. The exact quality of these arguments is never really elaborated or expounded upon, with the only argument shown in the Inferno being rather petty.

CIRCLE 5: WRATH

The fifth circle, Wrath, is - again - a return to form for Hell. Here, wrathful sinners are constantly duking it out in a free-for-all fistfight in the River Styx, or failing that, sink to the bottom in despair and stew there until they either rejoin the utter lunacy above or... Nothing. Yeah, not much to do. As for why they fight? Drowning sort of sucks! It can't kill them, of course, but it hurts quite a lot.

CIRCLE 6: HERESY

The sixth circle, Heresy, continues the trend of horrific punishment. Heretics, such as those that blaspheme God with false prophecy or the like, are dunked head-first, upside down, in flaming tombs. While rather unpleasant, it's apparently not too bad, as Dante and Vergil (our protagonists, by the way) hold a philosophical conversation with some people that our boy Alighieri knows.
