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.

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.
