  1. Dante created the nine circles of hell, starting at limbo.
  2. The first circle on ending it.
  3. Treachery. The ninth circle, one being the smallest, most insignificant
  4. sin and I'm being the worst thing committed.
  5. The punishments are different in every circle, and they directly
  6. correlate with the crime that person committed while being on
  7. Earth. So it's this person's worst nightmare, whatever so that
  8. they committed the punishment's gonna be 10 times worse.
  9. But it's going to go along with and coordinate with
  10. the sin that they committed.
  11. So there are nine circles of hell.
  12. And like I said, one being the least bad sin
  13. and then nine being the worst punishment and the words.
  14. And, um, some of the some of the punishments for
  15. these sins can go really, really extreme, such as, um,
  16. spending eternity in a tomb on fire and another one
  17. being frozen alive in an icy lake.
  18. Um, or if you commit suicide, you are turned into
  19. a tree, and but it's really painful and you're slow,
  20. and it's really painful to be just stuck and entrapped
  21. in this body.
  22. You m.
  23. This book was written in 13 20 so I can
  24. only imagine how different life was for the average person
  25. in that time.
  26. And as a society, most of the sins written about
  27. in this book have been normalized by the media, by
  28. celebrities, by news and just by mawr awareness that we
  29. have now compared to back them.
  30. Um, I personally think that Dante, when he wrote this
  31. book, he wasn't really It was a different time, but
  32. I don't think he was giving much leeway for people
  33. to change and grow.
  34. And, um, almost learned from the mistakes and just make
  35. mistakes. In general, People make mistakes, and it just seems
  36. like if we related this book toe actions that people
  37. make today, that we've made more normal and more accepted.
  38. If we put them to that, most people would be
  39. in held and most people would be punished severely for
  40. the things that they've done.
  41. Such a suicide or adultery, different forms of fraud, which
  42. he viewed fraud as flattery or as people that we're
  43. hypocrites, false profits, thieves, etcetera, seduce er's, even which is
  44. something that we probably all done in our lifetime.
  45. Overindulgent is another one that most of us have experience
  46. or want to experience, such as like in pop culture.
  47. Pop culture is a really good representation of indulgence and
  48. overindulgence and greed on gluttony, especially because there are rappers
  49. and rap culture is really, really deep into gluttony, where
  50. they talk a lot about women and money and drugs.
  51. And they talk about this luxurious, amazing lifestyle that they
  52. have, and they really boast about it.
  53. And most celebrities just hoard all their money to themselves,
  54. and that would definitely be something that they would be
  55. in hell for.
  56. And that would definitely be a sin that they have
  57. committed. Um, so other things like cheating scandals.
  58. And I used the example of, like the Kardashians, um,
  59. and just the entire family.
  60. Really, they have tons of cheating scandals, even like Donald
  61. Trump has a few cheating scandals like things like that.
  62. Um, Kevin Hart would be a good example because he
  63. said a few cheating scandals, murder and other convictions.
  64. O. J.
  65. Simpson, um, is an example that first comes to mind
  66. where murder is definitely a sin that should not be
  67. normalized. But that's definitely a sin in fair now.
  68. And he would definitely be in hell for that, Um,
  69. sexual acts or art made about sex.
  70. A lot of music and art is made, um, based
  71. off of sex.
  72. And that would just be something that Dante would not
  73. agree with that we do very openly now, Um, and
  74. then my last slide is just different depictions of hell
  75. throughout history, these air, all art pieces from, um, the
  76. Renaissance era.
  77. And then I just listed a few quotes.
  78. Um, basically, just a consensus about how I view Dante
  79. being really unforgiving.
  80. And he doesn't think that anyone deserves pity or forgiveness
  81. for the mistakes that they've made.
  82. Hay is very, very harsh ideals in his writing.
  83. And I just thought that that was interesting, Um, and
  84. how it combats with our society today.
