Mike VeVerka Cantos 25-26

CANTO 25
Circle- 8, Bolgia 7
Sin- Thievery
Punishment- Sinners in this canto become forced into one another so that the two creatures become one. Sinners constantly attack each other and capture their traits.
Sinners- Vanni, Agnello, Cianfa, Buoso, Francesco, Pucio Sciancato.
Summary- Canto 25 is set in circle eight, bolgia seven in Hell. The sinners in this canto were thieves during their time on Earth. Their assigned punishment is that they are compelled to attack and morph with other sinners. This represents their actions in life because when they were on Earth, the sinners took the substance of others and transformed it to their own. No sinner knows which body is his own. This justifies why they are compelled to do the action stated above.
Q: From what city are Agnello, Ciafa, Buoso, Francesco, and Pucio Sciancato?


CANTO 26
Circle- 8, Bolgia 8
Sin- Evil Counsel
Punishment- Eternally surrounded behind giant flames.
Sinners- Ulysses, Diomede
Summary- this canto is set in circle eight, bolgia 8 in Hell. The Evil Counselors of that infected people on Earth now inhabit this fiery land in the Inferno. Their punishment is that they are eternally hidden behind giant flames so they cannot be seen. This punishment is justified because in life, these people stole from God and abused His virtues for low purposes. Therefore, in Hell, they are stolen from sight, just like how they worked in hidden ways on Earth. I see this punishment fair because their eternal suffering matches the trouble they cause during their time on Earth.
Q: How did Ulysses describe his death?
