My interpretation of Dante's Inferno.

Dante may have over-exaggerated a bit so I will give a  description based on his of what I believe hell could  be:

Purgatory - You smell a little funky so you take a  shower.

Level 1: limbo - The library, this is where all the  geeks hang out.

Level 2: lust - There is a nice breeze and you get to  hang out with all the sexyness. The dance club of hell,  free drinks for all!

Level 3: Gluttony - The comfy couch of hell! You get  high, snack on some munchies and play video games for  eternity.

Level 4: Avarice and Prodigality - They...play tennis?

Level 5: Wrath and Sullenness - Sitting in the mud and  arguing? This sounds like a day spa that offers mud  baths. The divine seems to know that you are cranky and  are in need of a little R&R...

Level 6: Heresy - Chilling at a classy restaurant with  a few politicians and scientists chatting about world  issues of the future.

Level 7: Violence -

  ~Outer ring: people and property - You sit in a hot  tub and centaurs bring you drinks. If shit pisses you  off that bad in life then might as well spend an  eternity in relaxation.

  ~Middle ring: suicide - You turn into a plant,  because plants don't care. Fitting...Others play fetch  with cute puppies.

  ~Inner ring: Blasphemers - You lay or walk on the  beach at night looking up at the stars. There is no  greater way of gaining an appreciation for what you  consider 'god' and nature than the awe of that  experience.

Level 8: Fraud - You go to a restaurant, it's your turn  to pay the tab, you have to wait in line to use the  bathroom and there is no lock on the stall so you keep  your back to the door. While you eat your steak you  wonder, briefly, if you should become a vegetarian.

Level 9: Treachery - Heat went out....Satan is bartending.
