Dante’s Inferno Meme
I’ve been wanting to share this one with you for a while, but it’s taken me quite a while to get round to it. Basically, you answer a pile of questions, and then the Dante Inferno test will tell you which level of Dante’s Inferno you’ll be sent to, assuming that Dante’s epic poem The Divine Comedy is the most accurate reflection of an afterlife. It’s always possible that this isn’t the case, but just assuming it is, where would you end up?
The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!
You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate.
Bit of a bugger that, really, but at least I can hob-nob with the famous… I tried to account for my agnosticism by answering some of the religious “opinion” questions one way and some another, and I think that’s been fairly reflected in terms of my believer/non-believer status. I mean, on the one hand, being banished to the realm of the lustful sounds kinda interesting, but on the other hand, it makes me sound a bit like Peter Stringfellow…
… still, I suppose it’s better than being torn apart by iron wolves or what have you, isn’t it?
So how did I score overall, then?
| Level | Who are sent there? | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Purgatory | Repenting Believers | Moderate |
| Level 1 - Limbo | Virtuous Non-Believers | Moderate |
| Level 2 | Lustful | High |
| Level 3 | Gluttonous | High |
| Level 4 | Prodigal and Avaricious | Very Low |
| Level 5 | Wrathful and Gloomy | Low |
| Level 6 - The City of Dis | Heretics | Very Low |
| Level 7 | Violent | Low |
| Level 8- the Malebolge | Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers | Moderate |
| Level 9 - Cocytus | Treacherous | Low |
You see? I’m not really that bad, at least once you’ve got past the sins of the flesh. Why don’t you have a go at the test and let me know how you get on? Those people who end up in the same circle could maybe get together beforehand for a getting-to-know-you session, although I’m guessing if we’re going to be spending eternity in each other’s company, we’ll find out in the end anyway…
