As Virgil guides Dante through the 8th circle of Hell, he shows the young poet a gruesome scene — two damned souls showing off the splendor of their bodies, but using those same bodies to tear savagely at one another. 

It’s a portrait of what it means to be in Hell: to take all the incredible abilities that make us human, and use them to make others and ourselves suffer.

The painting serves as a reminder, not just to lean on good guides to help you navigate life’s pitfalls, but to learn from the misery of Hell — oftentimes the worst suffering comes when you (mis)use your gifts and employ your talents to unbefitting ends. Sooner or later, it all comes back to bite you.
