I don't know how much he analyzed all of this, but I think the first picture is Limbo (The first circle). The picture is from the first canto though, not the canto that talks about the first circle (canto 4 I think). It's possible he is saying Dante himself would be in the first circle of hell because that's where the poets were. Alice is in The Heretics circle (6th circle).

You guys it's not the seven deadlys it's the first seven rings of dante's hell. otherwise CM wouldn't have made the refrence to mountains in south and hell in north.

Also this is interesting...
In The Divine Comedy after he goes through the Inferno and Purgatory, there is "Paradiso." I think these match up, at least sort of, with Eric's videos.
The Spheres of Heaven
Second Sphere . The sphere of Mercury is that of souls who did good out of a desire for fame , but who, being ambitious, were deficient in the virtue of justice (Cantos V through VII). Justinian recounts the history of the Roman Empire. Beatrice explains to Dante the atonement of Christ for the sins of humanity.
The Mercury symbol was on the video where Eric was talking about getting the acting job.
All of this stuff is reminding me of when I went to Florence. That is the coolest city... I am ordering all of you to go there. NOW!!!

Good find on mercury symbol. Also wabonan, I think that CM isn't leading us too far away from the point on this one. The digg profile said this one would be easier. So I'm guessing the answer is in The Divine Comedy. Perhaps we are overthinking the numbers? Maybe we should match up the pictures and the rings of hell then see what we get from that.

I think Alice would be the gluttonous. What is she best known for, after all? One pill makes you smaller.....

I dont think its a coincidence that R&J and Machiavelli are in the circles of Hell that fit them. So I think it is this:
1st circle: Limbo.
Dante
2nd circle: The Lustful.
Romeo and Juliet
3rd circle: The Gluttonous.
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
4th circle: The Avaricious and Prodigals.
Machiavelli
5th circle: The Wrathful and Sullen.
Tom Sawyer
6th circle: The Heretics.
Alice in Wonderland
7th circle: The Violent.
The Sphinx
But maybe the specific circles arent even important. I don't know where to go from here.

I think the numbers refer to words or letters from The Divine Comedy. First number can't be page considering this varies depending on whether or not its hardcopy and fonts and all that. So what else could it stand for?
