Hell Descriptive Writing

Decent Essays
Hell. A brimstone, fiery pit where all the sinners go when they die. Trust me, it's not as glamorous as it sounds. For one, after a while, the screams annoy even the most bloodthirsty demons. Another thing, it constantly smells like rotten or burnt flesh wherever you go.

A lot of people seem to mistake Hell for a fiery place, where everything is red and black, where demons run around, maiming, torturing, and the like.

Well, that's mostly wrong.

Don't get me wrong it's hotter than the sun down here, but most of the fire isn't just plain. It's usually a vivid blue, but can turn into black or hot white. And not all the demons torture souls...that's just the more sadistic ones.

I, for one, work as a waitress. Classy, I know. But, it is close to the palace. Where I work though, is one of the best bars in Hell.

The bars in Hell are not for the sinners, they're for the demons. We see all kinds here at The Pitchfork. The stereotypical sexy enchantresses, the invisible ones in horror movies with no physical forms, the red ones with horns and pitchforks, the nightmare kind with freakish features, the ones who take the form of animals, the demons that possess people (usually teen girls), and then you have your Odd Demon.

These ones look human, but have different skin colors (red, black, grey, white, blue, and the like), wings, horns, animal limbs, and a tail. Some don't have all the features, but you get the idea. These demons usually work as lawyers for Hell's tortured souls who want a chance at Heaven, maybe even deal makers. They walk in here with their work buddies, wearing Prada and Gucci suits while sipping martinis and talking about their latest cases. Odd Demons are the one percent, rich and famous. A lot of them have it in good with our Boss.

I however, do

    What makes Hell such a dreaded, terrifying place? In part of the text Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, Jonathon Edwards makes the observation that anyone who has not been a born again Puritan Christian will burn for all eternity in the pit known as Hell. To some, it is a dreaded, feared place, but to others it is fictional and incites no fear. In 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut, John Edwards delivered a horrifyingly powerful sermon to the Puritan congregation about the dangers, and reality of Hell. This sermon grew in popularity and led the means for personal reformation in Puritans of that era.…

    The home of sinners, murders, and terrible people alike. Hell is the home of the poor unfortunate souls who gave into their sins and are being tortured for all entirely. Dante unfortunately succumbed to all of his latent sins the farer he went down. Throughout the novel- until the very end with his realization- Dante gives into his fears, his lust, his greed, and his wrath. He begins feeling sad and pitiful for everyone being trapped down here yet ends up kicking away a man who begs for forgiveness, a women seduces him and he enjoys it and even ignores his own mother who tries to repent for her sins.…

    This question reminds me of when I was in youth group years ago. One Wednesday night, we had a discussion about hell and what it would be like. I remember our youth pastor turned the heater on (in the middle of a very hot summer I may add), they had a horrible smell that filled the room, and they had candles and fire placed around the room. They did this to give us some kind of insight as to what hell may be like one day. The father makes the statement that the Bible paints a nightmarish portrait of hell, and that it is filled with hatred, fire, darkness, torment, and a place of no hope (page 194).…

    Originally Satan was a angel in heaven, until God banished him to hell. His creator made him an angel, and then made him into a hideous creature. Both Satan and the monster had appalling appearances because their creator made them that way. Since they despised their creators for making the hideous, they felt similar hatred towards them. The monster stated that “Many times I considered Satan as the fitter emblem of my condition; for often, like him, when I viewed the bliss of my protectors, the bitter gall of envy rose within me” (Shelley 117).…

    . “Now,” said the demon, in a voice that carried with it no sorrow, no relish, only a dreadful flat resignation, “you will be tortured.” Like this quote, the voice of the demon is created through simple, short sentences but very descriptive. These descriptions are not what we usually think of hell because other readings and movies have embedded the image of hell as flames all around you while you are burning for your sins. Gaiman decided to go against this approach and decided to describe hell as empty with no flames, just you sitting there with only the demon while you are tortured by having to live through your sins again.…

    Satan looks beyond Hell’s physical appearance and suggests that Hell can be something else entirely. This manipulation of reality is continued when Satan expands on his alternate view of the world: “not to be changed by place or time / The mind is its own place” (253-254). Satan hints at what he believes to be true. His mind controls how he reacts to his surroundings, not the other way around.…

    Although he insults many well-known figures, he managed to rationalize where he put them in his idea of Hell and why. He even puts members and leaders of his own political parties in these different circles when he also sees them to be sinners.

    Another obvious sign that he is in Hell is that he sees demons. From Seeing people with distorted faces that try to run him over and kill him, to finding grotesque extremities on the people around him, Jacob is surround by people that terrify him. A third example of Jacob being in Hell is, after the party, Jacob has an incredibly high 106 degree fever. When many people picture Hell, they think of intense heat and walls of fire, but obviously, this is not what Jacob’s Hell looks like. Jacob has manufactured himself a Hell where his punishment is to take away the object he loves most, his family.…
