We have recently discussed the different types of hell in “Inferno” and we know that Dante travels different levels of hell with Virgil. In my perspective, some of the punishments were really gruesome, but others fit the punishments of the sinners. It is understandable that some sins are unforgivable, and it doesn’t seem right to me that they have to suffer for all of eternity. In fact Dante feels that some way for some of the sinners because he feels empathy throughout the whole story. It tells me that the sinners may have suffered greatly but isn’t given any chance to prove that they understand what they did wrong. Some people committed a sin without knowing it and it really makes me upset because they aren’t given a second chance to prove themselves.

In my perspective and recent discussions in our class, there was some variations on which sin was seen to be taken more seriously than others. As a result there were different opinions that people had because everybody don’t think the same and they view certain sins to be unjustifiable where others feel like it would be less severe. If I were to ask the question, “Which sin is the bad and which sin is the worst?” We would have a controversy

Is it possible to see through one’s sins and give them a chance to redeem themselves? Which sins do you think people should be able to redeem themselves for? And why?
