Question about The Divine Comedy and Hell? Okay so in Hell, the violent are placed 'higher up' than the fraudulent. Meaning the fraudulent are 'worse' than the violent. Why is this?

I am simply wondering why the fraudulent are considered to be worse than those who are violent. In our society, a murderer would be considered to be far more sinister than someone who lies, generally.
