The Nine Circles of Hell for Millenials

October 4, 2015 By Professor Elizabeth Coggeshall

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. This is a dead zone. (Effing AT&T…)
– Dante Alighier-ish

“Dante’s Divine Comedy was written in the 14th century with his uber-Catholic, Italian counterparts in mind. While the allegory of the afterlife lives on in modern culture, the Inferno would probably look slightly different were it typed out on an iPad. Behold: The nine circles of hell for the basic millennial”    –Laura Stampler, “The Nine Circles of Hell for Millenials”, Time Magazine, July 30, 2014.
