Your
    question was originally tagged with the novel Fallen Angels by Walter Dean
    Myers (a Vietnam War novel), but you had listed The Inferno at the bottom;
    so I'm assuming that you're referring to Dante's work.  If that is the case, then the wrathful
    fallen angel, Satan, inis exiled to the pit, the inner circle of hell. Instead of being
    the glorious creature that he was before his fall, he is a hideous beast who eats betrayers such
    as Judas Iscariot and Brutus and Cassius (betrayers of Julius Caesar).  His punishment is
    similar to other residents' of hell in that his ugly exterior represents his
    sin.  Moreover, because he sought to subdue God and become the ultimate ruler, he is
    not confined to the innermost circle of hell with no way out.  Dante's fallen angels are
    different from Milton's (in Paradise Lost) in that they do not maintain as
    much brashness or even their beauty as Milton's fallen angels do.
