Hell

In The Divine Comedy, Dante's Inferno, Dante takes a horrific journey through the Inferno. Throughout his journey, he enters, he discovers that hell is split up into many levels, the bottom where Satan resides. In these circles, he witnesses many people in pain who are being punished for their sins that they committed on earth. Each person's punishment is based on their crimes they have committed, but without all the allusions and justifications they had in their earthly lives. Dante encounters…

Before Becoming Dante In The Divine Comedy, written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and 1321, he describes his journey through three realms starting in Inferno leading up to Purgatory and finally arriving in Paradise. Inferno is one of the three parts in which Dante uses more description, including allusions from his background and from his religious point of view, including the Bible, old text, and Greek stories; creating a mixture of sources that he used. Not only that, but he also uses the…

population) and it also promotes belief in Life after death like Christianity. Muslims believe that this world is just a test for the believers and they will be rewarded or punished for their deeds in the life hereafter by being sent into Heaven or Hell. The Quran, “God causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt,” (Quran, 45:24-26). Muslims, like Christians believe that once a person dies, his soul tends to…

My experience in hell felt ridiculously timeless, therefore, I knew this couldn’t have been a schizophrenic episode. I often wondered if perhaps I hadn’t passed through time for that long at all and if time remained nothing but a vague feeling. If that was so, that was the worst episode ever. Nevertheless, I’m doubtful. The burns, the slashes, the bites are hardly memorable, but I've always remembered the words. Various victims of hell existed other than myself, but everybody was engulfed with…

I have always been a fan of the different interpretations people have of Heaven, Hell, or the in-between, The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri is one of my favorite interpretations, taking you on Journeys beyond belief. The divine comedy is separated into 3 Canticle, which means hymn, song or psalm, Hell (Inferno), Purgatory (Purgatorio) and Paradise (Paradiso). The story by many is said to be real and by some non-religious orientated people it is meant to be as basic mythology, of one man’s…

inevitably banishes him from the realm of Heaven and leaves him to rule over nothing more than a wasteland. In John Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost, such is the case of Satan, a former subject of the Lord fallen from his grace. God banishes the angel to Hell, where Satan, left to ponder the quality of his newfound life, slowly accepts his fate and addresses the presumed advantage of being free from the clutches of God, whose ultimate authority he despises greatly. Satan wonders about his own…

As the first part of the epic poem Divine Comedy, the Inferno was written in the beginning of the fourteenth century by Dante Alighieri. Inferno describes the journey of its author through nine circles of Hell. For the whole duration of his journey, Dante is led by a poet Virgil, the representation of Human Reason who is familiar with many of the sinners in the underworld. Each circle in the epic poem illustrates a different type of sin with contrasting consequences, fluctuating according to the…

Blake’s “The Tyger” both have the idea of describing a hellish world in common with each other. Many of the characters in both of the poems also describe characters that you associate with “hell” or a behavior that’s the opposite from good. In “First party at Ken Kesey’s with Hell’s Angels” Ginsberg uses the term “Hells’ Angels.” This oxymoron may try to imply that the angels, who are actually demons in disguise, enabling them to corrupt the masses. The “souls in black leather jackets” in line…

descending through Hell. Even though the sinners are in Hell for a reason, they tend to believe that they are not deserving of their sins. They blame others for their logical punishments. Lust is in the incontinence section of Hell. Francesca, the main sinner of Canto V, convinces Dante that she isn’t entirely deserving of the punishment, but she also reveals her true character through her diction and allusions. Dante spoke to Francesca and she began to explain why she was in Hell. While Dante…

Is there a heaven and a hell? If you had to live in the fiery pits of hell or in relaxing joyful heaven what would you choose? Choose wisely because you don’t get to leave after your decision is made. Obviously everyone would choose relaxing joyful heaven unless you have issues. Hell is ruled by the devil and according to many religious beliefs it is an afterlife of suffering where the wicked or unrighteous dead are punished. Heaven is ruled by God and it s referred to the sky or the area above…
