Mirroring Dante's Inferno By Dante Alighieri

Hell is a place of eternal punishment and torment. Mirroring Dante Alighieri's concept of symbolic retribution, sinners are afflicted by the chief sins they committed. Within my version of hell, more attention is given to the common suffering sinners experience on their journey to their individualized punishment based on whether they committed sins of thoughts or actions, thus helping underscore the idea that no matter the sin committed, they all sinned against their Creator and deserve to travel down a common path of pain and despair before being thrown into even greater horrors and being isolated for eternity in their own punishments.

Those who sinned against oneself by lacking moderation or restraint with regards to worldly pleasures are placed in a room with all their greatest desires, but these desires remain unattainable as the sinner engages in an endless chase, which only brings destruction by the demons surrounding him or her.
