Dante's Inferno quiz

Post Reply New Topic

I've been intrigued by the Divine Comedy (and the infernal in general) for quite some time now. It truly is poetic justice, in its purest sense. Anyway, here is a nifty little quiz that I found several years ago (I was surprised that it was still up and running!) that determines which circle of Hell its participants would be damned to. I post it in the forum games section (and not, say, in the politics / religion / philosophy section) because it's just for fun. Which circle will you be spending eternity in? I got...

Cool test! I got:

Just so you know, this is an option, and I got it... legitimately.

Purgatory
You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, confession, and satisfaction by works of righteousness, you must make your way up the mountain. As the sins are cleansed from your soul, you will be illuminated by the Sun of Divine Grace, and you will join other souls, smiling and happy, upon the summit of this mountain. Before long you will know the joys of Paradise as you ascend to the ethereal realm of Heaven.

And I'm not perfect / not a goody-two-shoes either.

I seem to score highly on a lot of these and I thought I was answering with an even mix of good and bad. Oh well sixth level for me!

I thought I'd get a worse level than that

Gluttony for me.

Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis

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.
