Crimes and Punishments

 

Now they are stuck living like pigs that live the exact opposite of the gluttons.
             The avaricious and the prodigal reside in the fourth circle of hell. These sinners spend eternity pushing rocks. This matches their crime because they spent their lives trying to get as far as they could and they ended up nowhere. They now push rocks for eternity without getting anywhere.
             The sullen and the angry are located in fifth circle. The sullen spend eternity are underwater in a black swamp making bubbles. The angry are thrashing feebly in the black swamp. This is appropriate because the sullen do nothing for eternity just as they did during their lifetime. "Muddy people in that bog, naked, and with angry looks" thrash about in the water and get nowhere so it just makes them angrier and it never ends.
             The lower hell holds the next four circles of hell. These are the ones who commit sins of malice, violence, and fraud. .
             The sixth hell holds the heretics. These people are in burning tombs. The reason that they would be put in burning tombs is because they went against the religion and the bible speaks of hell as being a place of fire so for going against the religion they will have the punishment that the bible says is hell.
             The seventh circle, which holds the violent people, has three levels. The first level is the ones who commit violent acts against their neighbors. They will be submerged in hot blood. This suits the sin because when the person commits a violent act toward a neighbor, it causes the person that is being attacked to bleed. So for eternity the attacker will be reminded by not only being and seeing blood for eternity but to have the blood at a boiling point, where it burns the sinner for eternity. The second level has the ones that show violence against themselves. Their punishment is to be placed in new bodies as bushes and trees. This fits because if they are to be bushes and trees for eternity they cannot commit violence against themselves.
