Wrath's death is both ironic and fitting to The Inferno as he dies so Scar may set aside his own wrathful urges. The inability of the slothful to fight for long periods of time is what kills Sloth in the end, not the fact that he fought the Armstrongs. Tied up with Sloth is Wrath, who has sought constant conflict in his life. This frenzy of fighting is how Sloth puts on his sudden bursts of speed. They both reside in a river of sludge where the wrathful are continuously fighting and the slothful lie in the swamp until a sudden rage comes upon them and they attack in a frenzy before settling back down again. However, to Dante, the slothful and the wrathful are intimately connected.

The supposed irony in Sloth's death is that he is killed by the Armstrong siblings, who are diligent. Sloth is an interesting sin to be explored through The Inferno and it explains his behavior in a suitable way. What about the envious in Dante's Inferno? Since they once had pleasure in seeing others suffer, they have their eyes sewn shut and sit together, ashamed of their appearance, the same as how Envy can't stand being looked at in their true form. One of the first things that Mustang does to Envy is to blow out their eyes. Instead, it is Envy's suffering at Mustang's hand that is important. However, suicide is not the symbolic part of Envy's demise. Envy ultimately rips out their Philosopher's Stone to commit suicide. Lust's demise kicks off a string of deaths that continue the connection to The Inferno.Įnvy is notorious for being the one to murder Maes Hughes, and the reveal of that fact nearly leads Roy Mustang to his own destruction in the desire for revenge.

Within Dante's Hell, the lustful are treated to the same fate-they are trapped in a whirlwind, never able to escape the maelstrom of their emotions. She is turned to dust as the wind blows the pieces of her body away. However, Lust is not merely killed by Mustang. The first homunculus to die is Lust, who many point out is killed by Roy Mustang, who is known as a womanizer. For starters, Envy doesn't have a justice fetish bigger than Lucoa's cup size.Understanding the connection to Dante's Inferno adds meaning to the mere irony in the way the homunculi die. In the end, even Roy says Envy went out like a *****. The big difference is that Seryu had some anti-plot armor shoved up her :horse: ss before dying while Envy let out an ear-bleed-worthy screech before dying. Last but not least, both of their deaths left me thinking: 'That ***hole deserved worse'. One sounds like failed puberty and the other sounds like a sore throat though. Second of all, both of their voices are SUPER grating.

First of all, The Trap killed Markiplier-I mean Maes Hughes, a great character who was killed off too early(imo)(kind like when Seryu killed a particular character). I will only refer to it as either 'Envy' or 'The Trap'.Īnyways, LET THE RANT BEGIN!! I like to think of The Trap as the Seryu of the Homunculi. Alright, now because I'm unsure of Envy's gender and I'm afraid of Tumblr harassing me until the day I die, I won't refer to this character as 'he' or 'she'.
