They are divided into two groups – those who hoarded possessions and those who lavishly spent it – jousting.

Tybalt is an exceptionally mean and rageful person. This can be seen when he gets extremely mad at Romeo for even being at the Capulet’s feast and threatens to kill him.

Robin 's conjuring has been powerful enough to summon him. However, Mephastophilis is angry at being called by such unworthy creatures. He refers to them as ‘villains ' (scene 9, 37) and ‘damned slaves ' (39) and accuses them of presumption. As well as frightening them with fireworks, he turns them into animals as a punishment.

In Poe’s The Tell Tale Heart, Poe writes about how his characters are driven to commit murder and how their guilt eats them alive. The dark plots used is his writings exemplify the threshold of the unknown through the way that individuals are viewed as evil. All of his writings have some sort of violence that is driven by supernatural occurrences. The man in The Tell-Tale Heart has an eye that is scary and seen as potential evil that drives the narrator crazy and eventually causes murder.

At the entrance of the second circle, they meet Minos, who stands as the “judge”, that sends the souls who appear before him into the depths of hell (Ralphs 4). The characteristics Dante attributes to Minos through his writings are drawn from his past life as a mythological character. Dante uses such attributes as a form of allegory to hide the significance of why he represented Minos as a symbol of justice.
