Poetic Justice

In the seventh circle of Dante´s Inferno lie the sinners. These are the ones that dishonored God and the privilege of life by committing suicide and if I am not wrong, negating their gifts. In my perspective poetic justice is that fate gives everybody what they deserve. The good are rewarded and the bad are punished according to their sins. This is what happens all throughout Dante´s Inferno, that in each circle there are different kind of sinners and their punishment are according to what they did to dishonor God. In this case as I said before, there lie the ones who committed suicide and their punishment is to be trees for the rest of eternity. They can talk and sleep but they lack food, movement in the dark forest that they are encountered. Now, that they are trees, they regret what they did and did not do when they still had the chance to move and have a good healthy life on Earth instead of being a tree in Inferno. I think poetic justice applies to this because these are punished according to their sins therefore the statement that the bad are punished is applied. This is only one of the numerous circles in which the punished stand.
