The Third Circle: Gluttony
By Charlie, Tanner, and Taylor 
What is gluttony?

According to Merriam-Webster gluttony is defined as “greedy or excessive indulgence.” This can be anything from food to money to fame.

What is the third circle and who are the sinners in it?
  • This is the circle where people who overindulge in food, drink, and other worldly pleasures are sent.
  •  Ciacco 
Ciacco
According to the danteworlds.laits.utexas.edu site from the University of Texas at Austin, "Ciacco was respected in polite Florentine society for his eloquence and agreeableness. Another early commentator (Benvenuto) remarks that the Florentines were known for their traditionally temperate attitude toward food and drink--but when they fell, they fell hard and surpassed all others in their gluttony."
As noted in The Norton Anthology of Western World Literature, "A Florentine named Ciacco, known only for his appearance here" (Puchner et al. 1617; 38 -1618; 6).
Ciacco
  •  "'O you there being led through this inferno / ' he says, 'try to remember who I am / for you had life before I gave up mine'" (1618-1619; 40-42).

  •  "You were born before I died" (Puchner et al. 1619; 42 -1619; 7).
Ciacco is the only sinner in the third circle that talks to Dante and tries to get him to remember him and see his pain.
Vile slush 
Musa observes, "These shades are are mired in filthy muck and are eternally battered by cold and dirty hail,  rain, and snow" (1617).
This rain beats down on the sinners for eternity, and it sucks all their energy out to the point where they lie in the mud waiting for the Cerberus to eat them. The punishment comes from the metaphor that since all they did was eat and excrete waste, they shall be subject to its repercussions. 
The sinners in the third circle are eternally trapped in a dark, cold, downpour of excrement. 
It is in the form of hail, rain, and snow. It never stops, and they cannot escape it.
Cerberus 
Dante describes, "Cerberus, a ruthless and fantastic beast, / with three throats howls out his doglike sounds / above the drowning sinners of his place" (1618; 13-15).
Dante claims, "His eyes are red, his beard is slobbered black / black, his belly swollen, and he has claws for hands; / he rips the spirits, flays and and mangles them" (1618; 16-18).
Cerberus 
The Cerberus is a viscous three-headed dog monster that eats, mauls, and tears the bodies of the sinners while they are still aware of what is going on around them. The sinners lie in the sewage and wait for him to attack them. 
Dante's reaction to all the suffering
Dante responds to Ciacco with, "'The pain you suffered here perhaps / disfigures you beyond all recognition: / I can't remember seeing you before. / But tell me who you are, assigned to grieve / in this sad place, afflicted by such torture / that---worse there well may be, but none more foul'" (1619; 43-48). 
He also comments, "'Your grievous state / weighs down on me, it makes me want to weep; / but tell me what would happen, if you know, / to the citizens of that divided state?"' (1619; 58-61)
  • Dante feels remorseful towards Ciacco and the other Gluttons, but he also feels that it is necessary for them to be seperated from the others. 
  • He also realizes their pain now that he can see first hand what they are going through, and he finds that their punishment is very intense.

Our Hell
The Tenth Circle         "Dictatorship"
Dictatorship
Sinners in this circle of hell end up here becuase they lived a life of tyranny, and made other's lives hell on earth. They were completely controlling and would not allow any single person to be their equals. They are the outermost circle of hell due to the fact that they tried to be the "God" of their society and there can be no other god but the one.
Punishment
The punishment that we have decided for the dictators in our circle of  is an ironic metaphor to the lives they lived on Earth. Their circle of Hell will be set in a government setting as they were used to when living. However, each former dictator will be given equal control and power of the Government forcing them to fight constantly and wear down on each other since they are used to being in complete control and having no one to answer to. Eventually the dictators will resort to torturing each other to try and gain the top spot in the government hierarchy. 
Dictators in our circle
