Upon reading Canto 7 until Canto 11, I can safely conclude that, yes, I definitely don't want to go there. Hopelessness and despair continues to prevail in the following scenes of the book, even more so the ever-growing horrors that continue to hunt Dante and Virgil through hell. I read about the the hoarders and the wasters in Circle four, and how they just keep pushing on this "great boulder-like weight." And when they do, they just keep doing it. Over and over again. In Circle five, the wrathful and the sullen just attack one another in the slime. In Circle six, the sins get a lot worse in the way that Virgil, Dante's human reason, cannot anymore reason with the creatures of hell. It is evident they will be needing a more supernatural help, one that is beyond human reason. 

These parts had the prevailing theme of hope. Sinners lost all hope because they chose their fate, they chose where they would stay during life after death. They chose by deciding to go against God, to deny their reserved place in God's kingdom, and now they lose that place forevermore. This leads to their hopelessness, never to bask in God's light. On the other hand, Dante was able to attain help from God, by knowing that he cannot survive alone with just human reason. No, to get through the presented obstacles, he has to count on God's strength, and he knew that. That is exactly why God lent his strength to help Dante get by.
