Seven Deadly Sins, usually given as Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Covetousness, Gluttony, and Lust; frequently personified in medieval literature, e.g.
Piers Plowman, B,
Passus V;
Dunbar's ‘The Dance of the Sevin Deidly Synnis’; Chaucer's ‘Parson's Tale’ (
Canterbury Tales, 24); and in Spenser's
Faerie Queene. They provide one of the organizing structures for
Dante's Inferno and
Purgatorio.
