Dante's Inferno Test

[GenMarshall]

Fifth Level of Hell - Wrathful and Gloomy

The river Styx runs through this level of Hell, and in it are punished the wrathful and the gloomy. The former are forever lashing out at each other in anger, furious and naked, tearing each other piecemeal with their teeth. The latter are gurgling in the black mud, slothful and sullen, withdrawn from the world. Their lamentations bubble to the surface as they try to repeat a doleful hymn, though with unbroken words they cannot say it. Because you lived a cruel, vindictive and hateful life, you meet your fate in the Styx.

 

[Princeps]

I got...

You approach Satan's wretched city where you behold a wide plain surrounded by iron walls. Before you are fields full of distress and torment terrible. Burning tombs are littered about the landscape. Inside these flaming sepulchers suffer the heretics, failing to believe in God and the afterlife, who make themselves audible by doleful sighs. You will join the wicked that lie here, and will be offered no respite. The three infernal Furies stained with blood, with limbs of women and hair of serpents, dwell in this circle of Hell.

Well, doesn't sound so nice, but I'd rather be a heretic in the city of Dis than share the limbo with genocidal murderers. see bolded below.

Charon ushers you across the river Acheron, and you find yourself upon the brink of grief's abysmal valley. You are in Limbo, a place of sorrow without torment. You encounter a seven-walled castle, and within those walls you find rolling fresh meadows illuminated by the light of reason, whereabout many shades dwell. These are the virtuous pagans, the great philosophers and authors, unbaptised children, and others unfit to enter the kingdom of heaven. You share company with Caesar, Homer, Virgil, Socrates, and Aristotle. There is no punishment here, and the atmosphere is peaceful, yet sad.

No thank you.

Dang it

[Truronian]

The City of Dis... I just hope it has a Starbucks.

 

[CCA]

What the hell?

Why did I end up in purgatory?

EIther I live an exceedingly boring life or I just need to get older.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

The City of Dis... I just hope it has a Starbucks.

It's hell, of course it will.

 

[JoeM]

Purgatory, but seeing as purgatory no longer exists it's a lot of nonsense.



What kind of question is this meant to be? Talk about pre-judged.

"Would you sooner go without sex than go without good-tasting food?"

 

[Bill3000]

Purgatory, but seeing as purgatory no longer exists it's a lot of nonsense.

Huh? Purgatory is still Catholic doctrine. You're confusing it with limbo, which was never Catholic doctrine, only a theological speculation.

 

[azzaman333]

Apparently, I'm a very bad person.

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Eigth Level of Hell - the Malebolge!

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
Level | Score
Purgatory | Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo | Very Low
Level 2 | Low
Level 3 | High
Level 4 | High
Level 5 | Very High
Level 6 - The City of Dis | Very High
Level 7 | High
Level 8- the Malebolge | Very High
Level 9 - Cocytus | Very High

I must say, I think it's very harsh to banish people to the eighth [edit] fifth [/edit] level for being "gloomy". Am I correct in thinking that traitors were sent to the ninth level partly for propaganda purposes, to make people loyal to king and country?

Probably not. More likely because it's considered that bad a sin, not necessarily for any particular political reason.

As for gloomy - well, it certinatly gives people an incentive to not be emo.

 

[QuoVadisNation]

Dang, this test is hard. I'll admit that I have historical knowledge in what Dante would have wanted to determine holiness. And I answered everything in the manner Dante would've suggested..

and I ended up in Purgatory? o_0;

Man, I'm confused. Who do you have to kill to get into heaven anyway?

Well, straight-to-heaven isn't an option in this test.

 

[puglover]

Dante is a great poet, he is no theologian.

If you got into Purgatory, that means you're headed to Heaven.

 

[Neonanocyborgasm]

I belong to the 5th Level of Hell!

 

[JoeM]

Huh? Purgatory is still Catholic doctrine. You're confusing it with limbo, which was never Catholic doctrine, only a theological speculation.

Actually I thought it was the place where everyone who died B.C. was hanging about until Jesus saved them. You're quite right, but what's the name of the place I was thinking of then..?

 

[Atticus]

Who do you have to kill to get into heaven anyway?

Try Peter.

[Ansar]

The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 3 times.
The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to... the Third Level of Hell!

Third Level of Hell

In the third circle, you find yourself amidst eternal rain, maledict, cold, and heavy. The gluttons are punished here, lying in the filthy mixture of shadows and of putrid water. Because you consumed in excess, you meet your fate beneath the cold, dirty rain, amidst the other souls that there lay unhappily in the stinking mud. Cerebus, a canine monster cruel and uncouth with his three heads and red eyes, dwells in this level. He growls and tears at the damned with his teeth and claws.
