The Eighth Circle The Inferno
The story line on a comic book series named Spawn by Todd McFarlane bare similar images to The Inferno by Dante Aligheri. The reason on chosen to write my paper on The Inferno was to learn the different circles of hell. By doing so I have learned that the main character in Spawn is a combination of the eight circle of hell. In Dante's journey, he saw the fates of people's that beard Spawn doom.In the comic book series of Spawn Jason Wynn was a master of manipulation, and led Al Simmons (Spawn) into believing, at least at first, that everything they did had a purpose and was for the good of American Security. The missions became bloodier with fewer rational explanations, some even, causing civil wars. What was once a strong friendship, or so it appeared to naive Al, rapidly deteriorated as Simmons began to question his commander Wynn and his motives.

Spawn a very popular comic series depicts hell in a modern world. There are many similarities between the two versions of hell. I assume that Todd McFarlane took pieces of The inferno and elaborated on certain aspects of hell. Especially on the eight circle making it a collaboration of Spawn's personality. I highly recommend both the comic series and book for reading. In the eighth pouch, fraudulent counselors were aflame. Dante learned the story of Ulysses' death, and heard the bitter tale of Guido da Montefeltro, who had been tricked into advising the pope to massacre some people, thinking that his soul was protected by a papal absolution. The similarities in Spawn and the eight circle of The Inferno was that each enclosures were different characteristics in Al Simmons that made him the perfect destructiv
