Their sin was to abandon themselves to the tempest of their passions. When they tell him their sins, he then wraps his tail around himself many of times representing the number of circles the person must go. They would be forever swept away in the tempest of Hell and forever denied in God and the light of reason. “They find themselves on a dark ledge swept by a great whirlwind, which spins within it the souls of Carnal, those who betrayed reason to their appetites,” pg.1032.
