 ANALYSIS

the miniseries "OVER THE GARDEN WALL" has a great reinterpretation of

"DANTE'S DIVINE COMEDY" because in Dante's novel he tells us how he
says that hell is made up of 9 concentric circles that would be an inverted
cone, and they are represented in the course of the miniseries:

1st circle: this first circle is the "limbo" in chapter 2 of the miniseries we can
see a clear reference when they arrive at the town called post field, where
skeletons live in disguise and even ask wirt, aren't you coming too soon?

2nd circle: in the 3rd chapter the 2nd circle "lust" is shown in the voice of the
young lady from the animal school.

3rd circle: this circle is "gluttony" and is referred to in the 4th chapter when
they are in the tavern and Greg is seen on several occasions with several
different plates of food. and all the characters shown are chubby.

4th circle: "greed" is the 4th circle of hell and a reference is seen in the
episode when we are shown the fake uncle of the boys who lives in a mansion
full of luxuries and has everything but is not happy.

5th circle: "anger and laziness" and here is when they travel on the ferry but
do not buy their ticket and the frogs that are on board get angry and this is
when it shows us the anger, and also another moment where there is anger is
when they discover the betrayal of Beatriz and laziness is a reference to what
the book says which says "lazy people by not acting drown in the mud" and
that scene is when the frogs are immersed in the mud.

6th circle: in this circle it tells us about "the heresy" that is seen in Lorna's
possession.

7th circle: this other circle is "violence" which resembles all those who have
lived given to malice, and in the series it is represented when wirt gives
himself to bestia by his own will, since death is symbolized by becoming a
tree, which is what happens to wirt.
8th circle: this circle represents "the fraud" and it is important to take into
account the chapter where they have a flashback and they are in halloween
which is a pagan holiday where they can dress up as any character and this is
just a fraud.

9th circle: "betrayal" is the last circle in which our characters spend a descent
to the center of the universe, for this reason of being in an autumn climate go
to a more wintry climate, since the center of hell is not hot as everyone
believes, but cold by the air that is created by the wings of Lucifer.
