Circle Seven

Circle Seven had a lot within it!  One of the first things we saw was the River of Blood that marked the first round of the seventh circle.  Here Dante saw the Violent Against Their Neighbors souls.  While passing by, I pointed out that Alexander The Great is in this circle.  I think this made it become pretty real for Dante because Alexander The Great is such a well known name.  Oh yes! I cannot forget to tell you all about how I was challenged... So while we were in this round of the seventh circle, the Centaurs challenged us but being who I am, I won!  Because I won the centaurs had to guide us across the boiling blood safely.  When we got across the boiling blood, we entered the second round of the seventh circle.  Here we went through the Woof of the Suicides.  This section bothered Dante I think because the Harpies were constantly attacking and feeding upon the souls.  I'll admit this part is a bit gruesome but I think Dante was greatly disturbed.  Also, Dante seemed to be very upset during this round because one of his countrymen was there and he ended up replacing the torn leaves of this soul before we moved on.  In the third round of the seventh circle, we were almost exposed to the plain of burning sand and the constant rain of fire.  (I knew I should have taken my umbrella with me) In this round Dante saw the Sodomites and the Usurers souls.  While passing by these souls we came across a soul who was cursing God... like I really dont understand why that soul would be doing that, its not like his punishment is going to stop because he is cursing God.  In my opinion, his punishment should have gotten worse but that's just me.
