Circle 3 Gluttons




4 comments:

  1. 1. Do you think gluttonous people deserve to be sent to the third circle of hell? If not, should they be sent to a deeper circle, a shallower circle, or not be sent to hell at all?

    2. How are the conditions in the third circle? Do the punishments that the gluttonous people face fit their sin?

    3. What does Cerberus represent? Why is Cerberus in the third circle?
