This is heavy stuff, but thought-provoking
Watching Eastenders last night, seeing Lucas realising the gravity of what he had done and admitting that he was in a hell of his own, made me think of what might become of Dave when he shuffles of this mortal coil, if there is a real heaven and hell awaiting us. So I had a look at the Wikipedia article on Dante's Inferno where he describes the 9 circles of hell, which increase in order of severity. And I came across circle 8 which covers fraud. Circle 8 is subdivided into what Dante called Bolgia (Italian for a crowd of people). And I came across Bolgia 6 and this is what Wikipedia says:
In the sixth
Bolgia, the poets find the hypocrites listlessly walking along wearing gilded lead cloaks, which represent the falsity behind the surface appearance of their actions â falsity that weighs them down and makes spiritual progress impossible for them.
Dante speaks with Catalano and Loderingo, two members of the Jovial Friars, an order which had acquired a reputation for not living up to its vows,
and which was eventually suppressed by Pope Sixtus V.
Alternatively, there is Bolgia 4 :
Sorcerers, astrologers, and false prophets here have their heads twisted around on their bodies backward, so that they "found it necessary to walk backward, / because they could not see ahead of them
So according to Dante, Dave could be walking for a very long time, so he'll have to get used to being without his wheelchair.
