In the poem, Hell is depicted as nine concentric circles of torment located within the Earth; it is the "realm [...] of those who have rejected spiritual values by yielding to bestial appetites or violence, or by perverting their human intellect to fraud or malice against their fellowmen". As an allegory, the Divine Comedy represents the journey of the soul toward God, with the Inferno describing the recognition and rejection of sin.

The Story Behind Dante's Inferno
The Seventh Circle, divided into three rings, houses the Violent. Trapped in the ice, each according to his guilt, are punished sinners guilty of treachery against those with whom they had special relationships. The Poets begin to hear the waterfall that plunges over the Great Cliff into the Eighth Circle when three shades break from their company and greet them.
All interpretations recognise that the three faces represent a fundamental perversion of the Trinity: Satan is impotent, ignorant, and full of hate, in contrast to the all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving nature of God. Dante is not forced to make this confession; instead, Virgil rebukes Minos, and he and Dante continue on. Dante is confused as to how, after about an hour and a half of climbing, it is now apparently morning.
How Dante's Inferno Plays
At the base of the well, Dante finds himself within a large frozen lake: Cocytus, the Ninth Circle of Hell. Dante now finds himself in the Eighth Circle, called Malebolge ("Evil ditches"): the upper half of the Hell of the Fraudulent and Malicious. Dante sees the Alexandrian geometer Euclid and Ptolemy, the Alexandrian astronomer and geographer, as well as the physicians Hippocrates and Galen.
Suddenly, two spirits – Gianni Schicchi de' Cavalcanti and Myrrha, both punished as Imposters (Falsifiers of Persons) – run rabid through the pit. These events occurred in 1302, prior to when the poem was written but in the future at Easter time of 1300, the time in which the poem is set. Virgil indicates that the time is halfway between the canonical hours of Prime (6:00a.m.) and Terce that is, 7:30a.m. of the same Holy Saturday which was just about to end.
Why Players Still Load It Up
In the second circle of Hell are those overcome by lust. Sayers writes, "After those who refused choice come those without opportunity of choice. The beasts drive him back despairing into the darkness of error, a "lower place" () where the sun is silent ().
When Dante responds "In weeping and in grieving, accursed spirit, may you long remain," Virgil blesses him with words used to describe Christ himself (Luke 11:27). He sets out to climb directly up a small mountain, but his way is blocked by three beasts he cannot evade: a (usually rendered as 'leopard' or 'leopon'), a (lion), and a (she-wolf). Such a "functions not merely as a form of divine revenge, but rather as the fulfilment of a destiny freely chosen by each soul during his or her life".
