The farther you get into Hell, the worse it is. The penalties vary depending on what sins were done. They are mostly personalized, going off of what the individual did.
Those in the upper Hell were mostly selfish and did not physically hurt others. People who had smaller sins went here. Those in the lower Hell committed bigger sins, such as trying to harm others.
I believe the main difference between today's perspective and Dante's is that we don't believe in different levels of Hell. Most also believe in Jesus Christ forgiving our sins instead of being sent to Hell.
