Dante and Virgil leave Limbo and enter the Second Circle – the first of the circles of Incontinence – where the punishments of Hell proper begin. It is described as "a part where no thing gleams". [32] They find their way hindered by the serpentine Minos, who judges all of those condemned for active, deliberately willed sin to one of the lower circles. At this point in Inferno, every soul is required to confess all of their sins to Minos, after which Minos sentences each soul to its torment by wrapping his tail around himself a number of times corresponding to the circle of Hell to which the soul must go. The role of Minos here is a combination of his classical role as condemner and unjust judge of the underworld and the role of classical Rhadamanthus, interrogator and confessor of the underworld. [33] This mandatory confession makes it so every soul verbalizes and sanctions their own ranking amongst the condemned since these confessions are the sole grounds for their placement in hell. [34] Dante is not forced to make this confession; instead, Virgil rebukes Minos, and he and Dante continue on.

The Sinners of the Ninth Circle Dante and Virgil in the Ninth Circle of Hell, by Gustave Doré, c. 1861, via the French National Library, Paris At about 6:00 p.m. on Saturday evening, Virgil and Dante begin their escape from Hell by clambering down Satan's ragged fur, feet-first. When they reach Satan's genitalia, the poets pass through the center of the universe and of gravity from the Northern Hemisphere of land to the Southern Hemisphere of water. When Virgil changes direction and begins to climb "upward" towards the surface of the Earth at the antipodes, Dante, in his confusion, initially believes they are returning to Hell. Virgil indicates that the time is halfway between the canonical hours of Prime (6:00 a.m.) and Terce (9:00 a.m.) — that is, 7:30a.m. of the same Holy Saturday which was just about to end. Dante is confused as to how, after about an hour and a half of climbing, it is now apparently morning. Virgil explains that it is as a result of passing through the Earth's center into the Southern Hemisphere, which is twelve hours ahead of Jerusalem, the central city of the Northern Hemisphere (where, therefore, it is currently 7:30p.m.).

The Malebranche ( Italian: [ˌmaleˈbraŋke]; "Evil Claws") [1] are the demons in the Inferno of Dante's Divine Comedy who guard Bolgia Five of the Eighth Circle ( Malebolge). They figure in Cantos XXI, XXII, and XXIII. Vulgar and quarrelsome, their duty is to force the corrupt politicians ( barrators) to stay under the surface of a boiling lake of pitch. The first part of the canto contains reflection on vendettas. In Dante’s day vendettas were not only common but an accepted part of the moral and legal code. Through the figure of Geri del Bello, however, Dante wants to question this practice. By constructing the narrative in such a way as not to have Dante speak directly to Geri del Bello, Dante seems to want to condemn the common practice of vendettas, which perpetuated civil strife and divisions.
