Canto XVII
This is cirlce sven round three here contains the usures which are the sinners against the Art. These sinners sinned because they did not use the skills, gifts, and talents that God blessed them with. Instead they used the talents of others to bendefit themselves. Their punishment is thety sit on a plain with fiery sand with a purse around their neck with a coat of arms that causes them enternall lameting. The retribution of theri punishment is since they burdedned others by using them; they are forever with a burden of a purser around their neck forever lameting. Also in this chapter is Dante and Virgil's transportation Geryon which is the symobolical creature for fraud. He carries Dante and Vrigil to the outer edge of the seventh circele. Once the poets rich this part of hell a man questions Dante who is among the living why he is their in hell. After this comment Dante retires back to Virigil who warned him that tat would happen if Dante stayed there too long.

The metaphor fits the the punishment baecause they are sitting on a plane in the heat lamenting like a dog sits ion the heat on a hot summers day.

This quote is comparing the greif and pain of the Usurers to that of dogs being attacked by insects. both of these tortures are equally horrible to the victim.

The metaphor fits the punishment of the Usurers because they sit on the hot plains being tortured, like dogs being bitten by fleas on a hot summer day. Both are painful to the victim.

This quote compares the pain and agony of the Usurers to dogs being attacked by insects. Each of these tortures are terrifying to the victims.
