Canto XVIII
This is circle eight called the Malebolge, and this contains the fraudulent and Malicious. These people sinned because they harmed their neighboor. In the first ditch the poets enconter the panderes and Seducers, and they form two files walking in oppostite directions. They walk at a fast pace, and are hurried by demons who whip them with great lashes. The retribution of this sinner punishment is they hurried others to benefit themselves and in hell they are the ones who are driven. Also the horned demons represent their consicous of their sin. Dante also sees Venedico Cacciamemcio who sold his sister to win favor of the Maquis. They also see Jason who carrried of women and abandoned others. He was a sinner who was a seducer. They also enconter the souls of the flatterrs who are immersed in excrement filled fieces, and they see in the pit Alessio and Thais. In life these people were filled with crap, and telling lies and so they are forever filled in crap.
Quote"And as he spoke, one of those lashes fell across his back, and a demon cried/Move on, you pimp, there are no women left to sell."

-Answer: I think that the demons symbolizes the sinners personal vicious nature. I think that the demons chasing the people symbolizes how they used people and tried to get them to give them things so now they are forced to do walk.

Answer: I think the significance of the demons ruching the sinners is, in life, the sinners whipped and rushed people for their own sake(for money, or any other self benefits) so in hell, they are being whipped and rushed for eternity.

I think the significance is that the nature of the sin was to force people to do something they didn't want to do.That is what the demons were doing by rushing the sinners that just want to rest.

The sinners of this bolgia, panderers and seducers, are driven along and whipped by Demons. The Demons represent the evil nature of the sins of pandering and seducing. Also, the sinners in this bolgia whipped and controlled people in their lifetimes to gain advantage, and so they are whipped and controlled and led along by demons.

The significance of the demons symbolized how the sinners used people their whole life to their own benefit. They also whipped people either for money or other self beneficial things.
