1) In the inferno, the punishments are meant to match the sins that an individual has committed. Match it in time and severity and closely resemble the sin. This is for when that person gets farther into hell, it gets worse.
2) People only go to upper hell because they self indulged. An instance of this is one loving something too much, to the point of greed. The sins for getting into upper hell are no wear near as bad as the ones needed to get deeper into hell. The levels of upper hell consist of limbo, lustful, gluttonous, hoarders, and the wrathful.
3) our perspective is different than that of Dante's because we don't believe in purgatory. purgatory is the process of cleansing one of sins. We believe in god forgiving us for our sins throughout our lives. When we die we go before god and he judges us based on our life choices.

Human Conduct
The Beatitudes is for Christians and states that you should serve the lord. Also, they are from the bible and state that Jesus dies on the cross. The Greeks are different however, they believe in many gods, not just one. Along with this, they have many religions and books that tell many different stories about lessons. The Greeks gods don't die, they instead are involved in the stories and each play a different role. Secondly, Islamic heaven contains warriors and that is the only way to get there that is permitted by Allah. Christians and Jews believe that one has to be saved to get into heaven, by not committing sins and doing what is good.
