The differences between Dante’ and the churches depictions of hell and purgatory are very interesting. Dante is a crazily influential author, so separating the churches beliefs from his can be relatively difficult, considering a lot of what people believe about Hell now is based in what Dante said, and has basically nothing to do with what the Church believes. Separating the Churches beliefs of hell, and Dante’s is very difficult in terms of art. The amount of art that was created after the inferno

Our reverent and pious society has been infested with the vile wicked arts of the enemy himself, Satan, and the very people who inhabit our new Jerusalem are the instigators of its downfall. We must not lose our faith in this holy war between the darkness of Lucifer and the light of our lord and savior Christ Jesus. “For the thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy”. We must rid this world of Satan and his disciples, and those who are found guilty of this shall hang for their

there are nine circles of Hell. But there is this outer layer right before the first circle, where the souls are rejected by both Heaven and Hell. After reading the famous words, “Abandon every hope, all you who enter,” (p.14 line 9) Dante and Virgil enter this lonely land of indecisive souls. To me, this is the worst layer of Hell. There is so many horrid things within this layer of Hell and throughout this paper I will argue why I think this is the worst part of Hell. The opening of Canto III starts

Is A Good Man That Hard To Find? I feel that O'Connor's story fits well with her statement about the South being "Christ-haunted." In fact, I feel that the Misfit, whom at first appeared to me to be a ruthless, sadistic murderer, actually ended up being even more of a 'good person' than any of the members of Bailey's family. I will analyze certain statements made in the story to make my point feasible. “The trees were full of silver-white sunlight and the meanest of them sparkled.” First off

Professor Scott-Curtis English 46B 3 Feb. 2015 “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell” by William Blake The poem, “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell” by William Blake, largely expresses Blake’s views and feelings regarding the social and political situation going on at the time the poem was written and engraved in the late eighteenth century. The poem is a satirical work and a bit of a mockery of the bible—a “bible” in which Hell is portrayed as being the place of interest, with the author being the Devil’s
