The inferno

These are a few notes to help me keep track:
The seventh level is violence all kinds whether acts of violence, self violence(suicide), or violence towards god.
The eighth level is full of liars and schemers. To make sure I understood I looked it up and it the level of fraud. Dante reached this level on the back of Greyon (a creature)
From the looks of it the ninth level of hell is treachery and contains Satan himself
I will write the last two parts of my stories using these final 3 levels of hell with some leeway. I may go back and rethink the way I want to set the story up. I think I will make the final level of hell its own story for it contains treachery and Satan making those who committed the greatest treacheries suffer the most. And I may have the eighth and seventh level together. The thing I may have to do is skip a level or two such as purgatory and gluttony level 3. I would mention them but I don't see the best way to fit them into the story. I know I will not stick with many of the original creatures to make the story my own but I also can not include every detailed areas from the original story for it would make it too long. I will put my own modern twists on the features of hell but keep to the original sins that got people there such as lust greed and so on.But with each levels sin I will add modern people who would be there and the modern ways of committing these sins. I will also add creatures of my own for the sins. i want to keep Cerberus in the mention of level 3. So to tally up, I will start my journey, mention the purgatory and traveling through it, then I will describe lust level which is level 2, and mention gluttony because I believe level 3 is just a subcategory of level 4 which is greed and would be described in detail next. These will be the first story. The second will contain detail on level 5 and 6 which are anger or wrath then heretic. The third story will contain levels 7 and 8 which are violence then fraud. To end I will discuss the ninth level which is treachery which contains Satan himself for betraying god.
