Circle Two: The Lustful

Lustful people spend eternity in a dark damp whirlwind. The second circle is the real beginning of hell. Here we see the principle of retribution: sinners tossed and whirled by winds as in life they were helpless in sexual things. This is poetic justice. I still think that this still seems better than following a flag while being stung by wasps. There are a lot of famous people here: Cleopatra, Helen, Tristan.
