The fourth circle of Hell: Greed The person who condemns the sin of greed is explicitly punished in the fourth circle of Hell. They use great weights as a weapon and force it with their chests which symbolize their selfishness during their lifetime. However, the circle is divided into two groups of people, who spent lavishly and those who hoarded for tremendous and imperial possession which is irrelevant. According to Dante, those condemned to the fourth circle spend eternity fighting over money and valuables. Plutus the God of wealth guards the inner circle of greed. It includes Cardinals, clergy members, and the Popes who accumulated possession and wasteful extravagance and foolishly misused others’ money for their benefits. It refers to people as if they lost their souls and carry a massive weight on their chest. However, they choose to suffer to attain higher possession. Consequently, the greed indulgence of two parties has lured them into the self-pity of misery and lies which is never enough to suffice their appetite for never-ending greed. Harding and squandering have led to the indifference to come to mutual antagonism.
