Contrapasso (Punishment that fits the crime)

In Dante's Hell, Contrapassonmeans sinners are punished in a way that somehow reflects what they did wrong on earth while they were living.
Example
1-Paolo and Francesca: Their sin on earth was their lust. They wanted to be with each other in a sexual nature, even though it was forbidden. Here in Hell, their punishment is the mirror image of their sin on earth--the same basic concept, but the EXACT OPPOSITE. Here, they are stuck together sexually. They are doomed to remain in the most intimate of positions for all eternity, without rest or satisfaction. While in life all they wanted was to be together, now that they are...They would love to be separated

2-Satan:The king of Hell is himself a contrapasso. Prior to being kicked out of heaven and founding Hell, he was a majestic angel representing all of heaven's cardinal virtues: Love, Divine Omnipotence, and Wisdom.Now that he screwed up Big Time and is down in the pit, he has been changed to reveal the mirror image of his former self. Now with a furry, frozen body with scales instead of wings, he has three heads: one red (Hatred), one yellow (Impotence), and one black(Ignorance) to contrast the three highest virtues of heaven.
