Hells Angels

When an angel opposes the power and might of God, the almighty deity 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…

he described Satan and hell in there own fairly different and similar ways. Dante’s Inferno levels of hell is separated into nine levels which are spheres, and in each level is a different punishment which progress to get worse and worse the farther you go down. He portrays Satan as being dumb, like when Satan is unable to talk from chewing on the sinners, he isn't showing much character or personality in the story. In Paradise Lost Satan is given a personality, and in hell there is eternal…

a symbolism of materialistic importance and vanity. While in William Blake’s, “The marriage of Heaven and Hell” the symbolism is that of visions of angels and hell. These authors incorporate their symbolism in a way to send across a message whether it is the background story of Satan, the materialistic importance of the 18th century, and a parody of Emmanuel Swedenborg writing “Heaven and Hell”. First, in John Milton’s “Paradise Lost” the main symbolism we come across is the garden of…

which represent their emotions, and blood, which represent their lives, are being swallowed up by worms. The souls are naked and are being stung by wasps and are bitten by horseflies. This is contrapasso because since the souls in this section of Hell had led a pointless life, they had a pointless task ; a second way this is contrapasso is that insects and bugs are seen as insignificant, so that is how the bugs and worms treated the souls. When the spirits are seen as being naked, that…

instance, Mephastophilis mentions that because of God’s absence on earth, hell actually contains earth as well: (ll. 4.73–76). Due to that, it can be reasoned that Faustus was in hell since the commencement of the play. Basically, Mephastophilis never abandoned the inferno and Faustus is not aware he is already residing in a hell-like zone. This way, Mephastophilis has a power advantage since he does not have to leave hell to reach Faustus. Furthermore, Mephastophilis makes a certain sarcastic…

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…

The poem begins with Virgil's encounter with Dante, who has lost himself in a jungle and encounters wild beasts. Virgil confesses to the poet who has come in the name of Beatrice, a…

Traditionally, Hell in a secular conversation of the modern world comes across as jokingly or one of the largest insults to be made, and in the religious world comes across as one of the scariest and touchiest subjects. Even after centuries since the authorship of The Divine Comedy the feeling that the name of Hell brings remains the same, uncomfort and largely, fear.
