"Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate." ("Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.")
The Fourth Circle of Hell
Those whose attitude toward material goods
deviated from the desired mean are punished
in this circle. They include the avaricious
or miserly, who hoarded possessions, and the prodigal, who squandered them.
Guarded by Plutus, the miserly group pushes
great rocks towards the center of the circle;
the wasters must take the rocks back to their
own side of the circle (Canto VII). This is
an antithetical punishment; the sinners must
do the opposite of the actions they carried
out in life.
