For example, Dante ranked treachery as the ninth circle when actually violence is a worse crime, but because he was affected by treachery, he ranks it worse. Furthermore, the prison sentence for fraud is as low as a year, but the prison sentence for aggravated assault, the weakest form of violence, is at minimum two years. Moving forward, Gluttony was looked down upon in church, but not everyone went to church or had religious beliefs, some had different religious beliefs and hell is made for everyone, so Dante ranked it incorrectly as he made it strictly for Catholics. Therefore, people who oppose the fact that Dante’s ranking was just, believe that hell in Dante’s Inferno was created as the factual and stringent interpretation of hell. It may be true that Dante ordered treachery fraud and gluttony wrong if it was for a stringent interpretation of hell. However, Dante’s Inferno is fiction and the choices Dante made to put the circle in that particular order were purely for fictional purposes. In short, Dante’s use of his life experiences to construct the circles of hell is perfectly just as Dante’s Inferno is a fiction text meant for the enjoyment of his
