Life in Hell

“Hell is yourself and the only redemption is when a person puts himself aside to feel deeply for another person,” stated by Tennessee Williams. The quote implies, even though you’re living with guilt, the only absolution is putting your problems aside to help another. In the book Cat On A Hot Tin Roof Act.1 (Page 38-49), Margaret and Brick had their own frustrations, but failed to merge as a couple and help each other. The Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is a play of mendacity, everyone in the story is…

The problem of Hell C. S. Lewis addressed the topic of hell in his book The Problem of Pain. He said that the Christian doctrine that he'd rather remove is the doctrine of Hell. He talked about many aspects of Hell, mainly the size of Hell, free will and choice. According to him the size of Hell is very small, it is the product of the infinite love of God and the freewill bestowed upon Man. Size of Hell Lewis believes in Hell however he doesn't believe in a very big Hell. He quoted Dame Edith…

Two stories written years apart both focused on the same concept but went different directions. Both stories had had a different portrayal of the Devil, function of faith, and ending. The Faust Legend, which has been used in many stories, played a big role in “The Devil and Daniel Webster” and “The Devil and Tom Walker.” A large portion of the similarities between the two stories stem from their roots in the Faust legend. The Faust Legend is basically the prospect of someone selling their soul…

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…

Raskolnikov establishes a sense of liberation by rejecting his twisted theory of the Übermensch and joining in communion with the prisoners and his closest friends and family. By living a life that is absent of his twisted theory while he is incarcerated, Raskolnikov also realizes that it is indeed possible for life to go on if one embraces suffering, searches for forgiveness, and accepts their own inherent, human nature. The forgiveness that he now humbly desires is the antithesis of the…

In the sixth chapter of The Cosmic Ocean, Chappell continued to add on to his spiritual journey. Chappell talked about the common demons that live in all humans such as fear, selfishness, and rage. These demons can not be defeated by someone else, but must be defeated by the one that carries them. To defeat these demons, people must feed their spiritual organs by traveling deep into dark labyrinths. In these labyrinths, they must fight their demons and use the light to find the treasure in all…

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…

Rudraksha replied, “Gods also destroy the yajna of the rishis just like demons. They send apsaras as obstacles to disrupt the sadhna of rishis. You know about Vishwamitra. Menaka, Rambha… Madhurya got scared hearing my open criticism of gods. The teacher might get angry and might kick me out of the ashram once he finds that out. As a residential student of the ashram, I should not be against the gods, who the rishis pray day and night. Madhurya was my classmate. I am impressed by his endless…

prevents  He diverts  He distracts through four primary realms: individuals (you and others); family; the church; and society. 1. INDIVIDUAL. Satan prevents, diverts, and distracts you by creating situations in your life that one converts into painful memories. And slowly through life challenges and misfortunes he creates and bad decisions that you make, he devours your flesh until he takes your soul and Spirit (1 Peter 5:8). 2. FAMILY. Satan prevents, diverts, and distracts you by…

that way you will not see it coming and it is harder for you to say no. Every person has good in them too, but they will have to battle with the conflicts between right and wrong. In “Young Goodman Brown” Goodman Brown changed his faith and religious life when he enters the woods and the devil manipulates him to change his beliefs. There is good and evil in every person and it makes sense that a person has to fight with the devil so they can be good. In this story, “Young Goodman Brown,” by…
