There are lots of circles in hell: One is Limbo where abide all the souls that are not actually sinners but cannot go to heaven because of lack of faith. There is Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Fraud, Violence etc. They have to go across all those circles to get to heaven. In the end, the two men finally climb out of hell into heaven.
