Editing Hoarding (section)

== In literature ==
In the ''[[Divine Comedy]]'', those who hoard are depicted as sinners locked in eternal battle with wasters. Overseen by Pluto (the former god of wealth now turned into a demon and that speaks in gibberish) they have to push heavy boulders (representing money) in opposite direction, each time the two lines of sinners meet they accuse and insult each other. The hoarders and wasters have been condemned to Hell for being unable to practice moderation with money.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last=Chang |first=Ryan |date=November 14, 2022 |title=Historical Portrayal of Hoarding Disorder in European Literature and Its Relationship to the Economic and Personal Circumstances of the Authors |journal=Cureus |volume=14 |issue=11 |pages=e31025 |doi=10.7759/cureus.31025 |doi-access=free |pmid=36349076 |pmc=9629820 }}</ref>
