The Match Deadly Sin

The history of the match shows us the necessity of men to have the possibility to switch fire in any situation. The fire can simbolize in this case the Pride (Superbia) of having the property on the fire. The same property of the fire has created in the beginning of the story the Envy (Invidia) in the richest people due to the losing of the exclusivity of the fire.

The original significate of the fire passes through the Anger (Ira) and the Lust (Lussuria) of the hell.
