Why is the first ring of the 9th circle called Caina?, the 2nd ring called Antenora?, and the third ring called Ptolomea?, fourth ring called Judecca?Why is the punishment of the archbishop and Count Ugolino so fitting to what they did on earth?Why are Brutus and Cassius being tortured by lucifer while there are so many others that could have been put in their place?
What does Dante's actions in Canto 32 show about dante? (Bocca degli Abati)
why does dante have no sympathy with those in the 9th ring?
Why are there fighting twins in the 9th circle of hell?Why are there only faces poking out of the "Frozen Lake"Why would God let devils occupy the bodies of the most evil people who have not died yet?Who do you think these people would be?
Do you think the punishment (the frozen lake) is sufficient for the sinners in comparison to the other punishments in the other circles?What do you think of the concept of people who are still living but whose souls are placed in hell?What do you think of Dante's image of dis? Is there anything that stands out that you think is significant?Are the orders of the inner circles (treacherous towards kin, country, guests, and masters) appropriate? Or would you change the order of them?In modern times, who else would you place in Circle 9?
