Circle: 9 Cocytus
Round: 4 Judecca
Sin: Compound Fraud, The Treacherous to Their Masters
Punishment: The Sinners lie completely sealed in ice and are twisted and distorted into weird positions
Key Sinners/Stories/Monsters: Satan, the image of all evil. Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Christ is head first in the central mouth of Satan. Brutus and Cassius, who betrayed Julius Caesar are in the side mouths of Satan.
Summary: Dante and Virgil enter the last layer of hell. As they continue to go to the center, below them they see souls frozen in ice, twisted and distorted in weird positions. In the center, the two see a figure, the figure is Satan. Dante is overwhelmed from the sight and is not sure if he is alive or dead.Virgil guides Dante past Satan and when Dante looks back at him, he only saw his legs. Virgil explains to Dante that they crossed the center of the Earth. The two climbed their way out of hell and saw the mountain of Purgatory ahead of them.

Drew Humphrey-
The three most infamous sinners are Judas, Brutus and Cassius. All three of these sinners deeply betrayed either Christ or Julius Caesar and are punished by being in the lowest circle of Hell, twisted and contorted in ice.
