they meet up with minos

a great monster that puts people in specific rings of hell according to their sins

he also sees the next level of hell.  its where the lustfull reside.

 

he and virgil meet up with 2 people who tell them why they were put in hell.

they go to the 3rd circle of hell, where there is this huge 3 headed dog.

many movies and books have illustrated some form of a 3 headed dog.

like harry potter for instance.

dante faints again.

 

the next level of hell is for the gluttons.

could that be a form of lust?

to want something so badly that you’d sin to get it???

 

 

he’s very faint at heart.

atleast it seems that way.

 

there is a point to where souls or “shadows” will not let dante and virgil go any further.

they tell virgil that he may go forth, but he cant go back to his own circle.

 

he fails at trying to open the gates to the next circle, and tells dante to wait for the “Great One”

as they wait, 3 furies summon medusa.  who is largely known throughout greek literature for being so hideous, from her face and the snakes she has as hair, that she would turn anyone who looked at her to stone.

virgil cover’s dante’s eyes.

an angel come s from heaven to open the gate.

 

odd. i diddnt know angels could actually go into hell just for business purposes.

i always thought it was “everyone stays on their own side” kinda deal.

i dont think demons can go into heaven, but angels can go into hell??

its that that makes me think that heaven has soooo much more authority than hell

eventhough hell is where souls are punished, heaven has much more power than it.

kinda like how a government has more power than the state prison system.
