Even though this is non-chess related, it’s still educational, so no hate or I bomb houses. Anyways, here’s the explanation of the 9 circles of hell, which was Dante’s interpretation of Hell I personally believe in. What it is, and why they’d go there. Circle 1: Limbo Why they go here: They lived virtuously and unbaptized, or lived before Christ. What happens: They dwell in a peaceful castle with green fields, but feel eternal longing without hope. How it feels: Melancholy and empty, marked by a constant, quiet sigh of spiritual grief. Circle 2: Lust Why they go here: They let fleshly passion overpower reason in life. What happens: A violent, dark storm blows souls around endlessly without rest. How it feels: Dizzy, exhausted, and battered by howling winds that slam them against jagged rock walls. Circle 3: Gluttony Why they go here: They overindulged in food, drink, and material comforts. What happens: They lie in freezing, filthy slush under a relentless, foul-smelling rain and hail. How it feels: Miserable, shivering, deafened by howling roars, and torn apart by the three-headed dog Cerberus. Circle 4: Greed Why they go here: They hoarded wealth or spent money with reckless waste. What happens: Two mobs push heavy weights in semi-circles, crashing into each other repeatedly. How it feels: Frustrated, exhausted, and crushed by the endless burden of useless physical weight Circle 5: Anger Why they go here: They gave in to wrath, bitterness, or sullen gloom in life. What happens: The wrathful thrash and fight each other in the muddy, choking waters of the River Styx. The sullen gurgle and choke beneath the black water How it feels: Suffocating, furious, and trapped in boiling rage or deep, airless despair. Circle 6: HeresyWhy they go here: They denied God and believed the soul dies with the body.What happens: They are trapped inside burning iron tombs that glow red-hot from internal fires. How it feels: Agonizing, searing heat and a claustrophobic sense of eternal fiery burial.
