Dante describes symbolic retribution as “a punishment symbolic or representative of the sin(perversion of the intellect). Dante’s Inferno, a descent through Hell, portrays many layers of Hell, and each has sinners within them, and each sinner is punished, and that punishment is representative of the worst unrepeated sin committed by that sinner, which is what placed that sinner in that layer. ChaCha!
