In The Inferno, Dante depicts an allegorical journey through Hell. For this week's discussion, begin by choosing one circle of Hell (listed further below) that describes a specific type of sin/sinner. (Remember, you weren't necessarily assigned the specific reading in Dante for some of these circles, but you should still have a general awareness of them after viewing this week's online learning resources).
Then, in your main response, briefly describe the specific punishment in your chosen circle, then address at least two of the following:
How does the punishment for the circle you chose relate to the sin that was committed? Does the punishment 'fit the crime?' Why or why not?
If you consider the punishment unjust or inappropriate, what might be a more fitting punishment, in your opinion? (Be precise, but remain professional!)
Do you agree with the progression of sins as detailed below, with the "worst" sins in the highest-numbered circles? Why or why not? If not, how would you re-order the sins below?
