Canto 16

The three man wheel in this canto consists of Guido Guerra, Tegghiaio Aldobrandi, and Jacopo Rusticucci. All of which were Florentine citizens. Guido was a political figure, Tegghiaio was wealthy and known, and Jacopo was a well mannered knight of the court. Dante does not like the people from Florence hence why they are in hell. Also they men are accused to violence against god. This suggests that Dante also has a problem with them because they are of higher status which can mean that he is not. The wheel they create together could be compared to the wheel of life. The image of the wheel of life looks as if some sort of beast is hanging on to it and controlling it. This relates to how the men must keep moving and stay in a wheel to survive hell which is controlled by the devil.
