Inferno

[snakevin]

Idi Amin, Many of the medieval Popes, Karl Marx (whom I have nothing against except for developing communism), Pol Pot, Emperor Nero of Rome, Vlad Tepes III, Richard III, Henry 8th, and finally Josef Mengele.

I can't really put Marx in there, he is one of my heroes!

Very Well.

Limbo: In my honest opinion, Judas should be stuck here, since I believe-in the Christian story- that he was destined to betray Jesus, and has suffered far worse than he did.
Lust: Tiger Woods, Marylin Monroe, Bill Clinton.
Gluttony: Any famous man over 30 stone
Greed: Ghengis Khan, Adolf Hitler
Anger: Mel Gibson, Lorna Bobbit
Heresy: Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Mary Queen of England
Violence: Jeffery Dahmer, the shooter in the Virginia Tech Massacre, Vlad Tepes III
Fraud: John Darwin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Darwin_disappearance_case), Bernie Madoff
Treachery: Benedict Arnold, Guy Fawkes

I just want to keep Judas in treachery to keep some ties to the original story

Then put Marx in Limbo; that way, you get your hero in, and it fits as he never knew his theory would lead to the likes of Stalin.

OK, thats my ideas run dry/

But he had knowledge of god

I wish I could Marx in Limbo, but can he really go there if he knew of God?

I'm sensing someone doesn't like me

your closest dead relative, not joking, as it is an ample opportunity to bring in some comedy and/or self reflection/tearjerk sections, you want to show the audience that this is not just a trip through hell, and that it is a personal experience for you.

That is actually a really good idea, but none of my dead relatives did anything that would land them in Hell

I'm sure you could think of something, I know you wouldnt want to defame your own family member, but it would certainly be an effective plotpoint.

True, but I only have a few dead relatives I knew, and they were one of the sweetest people I knew. We would watch old movies all the time over there, and my great grandfather would talk to me about scouts and bake cakes

What about Jack the Ripper?

Put him in. Oh, and don't forget to add Pope Andrew IV, aka Rodrigo Borgia, the most corrupt Pope in history, in the Heretic section

let me put my own spin on it, perhaps as an example.
If I were doing it, I might insert my grandfather in there, he was an amazing person to me when he was alive, but he was a bit racist and I'm sure he beat my grandmother at least once, but I would put him in there for something nobody could take seriously, like having graven images. But thats only for a lighter side, attaching a greater crime to it could make it a very powerful moment.

Well, he was an athiest, so that would work.

True, I'll put him in there, hell, might even make him my guide

Gilgamesh? Stalin? Mao? Some Pope? Leopold II of Belgium? Leopold was a vicious disgusting man, you should definetly include him in the play. He "owned" Kongo, it wasn't a colony, he fucking "owned" all the people there. And he treated the natives like animals, cutting of their hands if they didn't work fast enough... He was the animal

For a second, I thought you said Gargamel from The Smurfs!

Hahaha nah, I watched Pokemon instead Don't know any smurfs. Oh and Marx shouldn't be in hell. At all

I agree, if Heaven did exist, he should have his own section, but I do need a guide....

Well, to have the most impact, you'll want to go with relatively recent, or well-known public figures.

Joseph McCarthy would be a nice addition to the 7th level for his perpetuation of the Red Scare.
Lee Harvey Oswald, Benedict Arnold, and the Rosenbergs would be real good choices to put in the 9th Circle.
Bin Laden would be good, if you can do it right. Don't damn him for being a murderer (which he is), but instead damn him for twisting the message of God for his own gain. 6th Circle for him.
You can have all kinds of punishments lined up for corrupt church officials. Personally, I'd see the priests who molested children damned to the 9th for betraying God.

Stalin, and Hitler are good as a passing reference, but we all know that they're going to hell. It won't have as much impact as having, say, Harry Truman, the United States president that authorized the use of the Atom Bomb on Japan. Basically, what I'm trying to say is your play will resonate better if you use people you normally wouldn't expect. Bonus points if the people are popular.

I'm not as good with Canadian History as I should be, but if you know any prominent people in Canadian culture that deserve damnation, definitely go for it.
