Hells Angels

“Xibalba,” but the common theme throughout these and all adaptations of Hell is the eternal separation from good and, as a result, an abundance of suffering and evil. It is impossible to accurately describe Hell. It can only be described by humans in personal glimpses of evil in the world, and most of the time, famous interpretations of Hell in literature are what comes to mind when contemplating eternal separation from God. Hell is personalized pandemonium for those sinners who chose to reject…

The angels symbolize Jesus as the only way to Heaven. As the blood ran from His face, the thunder roared the sky grew dark, and the earth trembled before Jesus died. Why would the earth react and tremble and the atmosphere be moved so violently right before Jesus died? A lot was happening in the spiritual realm while Jesus hang on the cross I believe the demons and devil pondered and murmured while they waited for Jesus spirit to release from his body then took Him to hell in our stead. Jesus…

The Inferno has influenced people around the world for almost 700 years. Most people think of Hell as a place where you don’t want to go and is miserable. This is because the Inferno is the basis of what we think of hell. The Inferno is a poem that Dante Alighieri wrote in 1320 about his fictional journey through Hell. The Inferno is the first of three sections of the Divine Comedy and would become one of the most famous books of its time. Throughout the poem, the reader can tell that Dante uses…

painting is based on the poem Dante's Divine Comedy. In the poem Dante's Divine Comedy, Dante travels through all three planes of the afterlife. He goes to hell, heaven and purgatory. This fresco illustrates the story behind the poem. This canvas is divided into thirds. Each third allows us to see the artists interpretation of heaven, hell, and purgatory. This represents the three categories of cantos. In the middle of all of these places stands Dante himself. Dante is wearing a faded red robe…

places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.” by Dante Alighieri. This shows a little into Dante’s thinking as he ranked moral failures through his structure of hell. In Dante’s Inferno there are nine different circle or levels of hell. In these circle there are different punishments for the different sins people commit throughout their life. The worst the sin is that you commit, the lower in hell you go and the worst your punishment in hell is.…

allusions to Hell and its inhabitants, as well various christ figures. Kesey’s most obvious biblical reference lies in his exposure of societal flaws. By comparing the psychiatric ward setting to Hell, itself, Kesey’s…

life. Dante encounters them on his journey to Hell. Their fate is constant punishment and torment for not following God. Although they do not commit evil acts during their life, they are deserving of this treatment since they never stood up for what is right. I feel that their decision to choose a side was a choice and was punished in the afterlife. The uncommitted is a group of people that would not be allowed into Heaven but are not punished in Hell. One group of the uncommitted are the people…

I found it interesting that Dante’s inferno paints a picture of what people thought was immoral and how they perceived hell. For example, thieves are in the eighth ring of hell, but heretics are only in the 6th ring. I would have assumed that in the 1300’s the emphasis on Christianity was much more prominent, since the church held vast political power and wealth, I was surprised that the thieves were thought lower of than Heretics. In addition, I had always thought of purgatory as a modern idea.…

reader doesn’t know of Satan’s deceptive ways in the beginning, he is the first hero of paradise lost. Milton depicts Satan as a martyr, rising from the literal ashes of hell and leading the grand council of the fallen angels. Furthermore, when Milton states, “The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make a heav’n of hell, a hell of heav’n” (Book I, 254-255), Satan comes to the realization that he…

The journey through hell, which Dante goes through in Inferno, was a treacherous one. Luckily, he did not have to make this trip on his own. He had the help of Virgil, who acted as Dante’s guide through the inferno. Virgil goes about as a creative, insightful and summoning tutor. He tries to protect Dante and gives him advice when dealing with the dead souls. Virgil knows when it is the right time to draw back or to step forward and at times let Dante form his own opinion on each circle, where…
