The ferry itself, at the very least, was nice, if a bit… pedestrian. When Sam had first arrived in Hell, he envisioned the ferry of the dead being a small but long boat helmed by Charon, who looked over his passengers, oar in hand, as he silently paddled through the river Styx. And perhaps this was true of the Styx. But the Ninth Circle was at the mouth of the Cocytus, and its ferryman, Smoker, helmed an ordinary, commercial ferry. Was it practical? Probably. Was it dramatic? Not at all.
