Obadiah's Impatiences
In the beginning there was one supreme being who created all. He was a tall, youthful God with gentle hands and an understanding heart of love. The existence of humanity was from his power and discretion. Heaven was a beautiful garden with peaceful wild animals, to honor the natural beauty of love and prosperity. In the center, a gazebo sits housing the throne from where the creator watches over his creations. After such creation the God became ill and he needed someone to run his kingdom and guide his people. God sat down upon his throne and created two young men named Able and Obadiah. He crafted them in his image to determine which one would take his place as the new overseer. He taught and guided these young men into the perfect mold of …show more content…
However, his brother trapped down in hell was infuriated at his father's decision and he believed that he should be the one to rule over humanity. Obadiah's impatiences was evident in the event of him disobeying his father and opening the box early. His anger started to boil and radiate from within him, and it is said the to have become what is now known as the inner core of the Earth. Creating so much pressure to release a response of momentous proportions that created the first volcano. This volcano was later named Obadiah's entrance, displaying a glimpse of what hell has turned into through the anger Obadiah holds for his brother and father. This extreme anger also made hell a torturous place. Were he psychoanalysis his doings that lead him to the fiery core of hell.

Hell was created for the banishment of the sinners and nonbelievers, simply as an isolation tactic. But Obadiah made it a form of punishment for the disobedient, making them analyze their doings and primarily wrongs. Creating a taxing pressure on the soul, leading first to discouragement. Then the act of remorse understanding one's wrongdoings and their guilt associated with their actions. Creating a fake hope for Obadiah that his brother the leader of the righteousness, would forgive him for his actions. Providing him passage back to the kingdom of

Obadiah's anger at the entering souls frustrated him. For he tried to provide his disclaimer through the volcano as the hole to hell, and the hot molten lava of death. This anger toward the individuals made hell physically exhausting, exerting the body from the very moment of entering. As the individual souls went through the process of hell they grew the same as Obadiah did. With first the longest level of discouragement torture physical, mental and psychological pain. These actions to have remorse for their actions, leaving them with the same feeling as Obadiah, a fake hope for help.

As the numbers in the fake hope grew they called out to the heavens above for their forgiveness. In an act to buy them passage to the kingdom of glory. But the attempt for remorse could not get passed all the levels of hell. There lost cry came to the surface of the Earth as an Earthquake shaking the land and sea. For living people to hear the underworld cry remorse for their actions upon the Earth. This cry for the heavens has not made it past the surface and for each attempt of repentance leaves the surface cracked in

    During his sermon Jonathan Edwards used vivid imagery and descriptions to make his congregation see that hell was a real place. To make the congregation see just how close to hell they truly were Edwards stated, “That world of misery, that lake of burning brimstone is extended aboard under you (Cox).” He also wanted them to realize that the longer they went without Christ, the heavier they would become. “Your wickedness makes you as it were heavy as lead, and to tend downward with great weight and pressure toward hell (Westerfield).” The ground beneath them would give way under the weight of their wickedness and they would plunge into hell where the Devil would be ready for them. “The Devil is waiting for them, hell is gaping, for them, the flames gather and flash about them and would fain lay hold on them, and swallow them up (Smolinski 11).”…

    The seventh ring of Hell is occupied by the souls of people who took their own lives. Their punishment is that they become trees and shrubs on which the harpies feed. As the harpies tear their leaves and branches, the souls suffer pain and bleed. But on the other hand, they cannot speak unless they shed blood. The Harpies “give pain and to that pain a mouth” (101-102). Dante, when seeing this for the first time, describes it “As a green log, burning at one end, that blisters and hisses at the other, with the rush of sap and air, so from the broken splinter oozed blood and words together” (40-44). The reader learns from the soul of Pier della Vigna that when an individual kills themselves, their soul falls into the seventh circle and roots itself, from there growing into a “wild thicket” (100).…

    As they enter through the gates of hell they read the sign on the gate, which reads “ABANDON ALL HOPE, YOU WHO ENTER”. The first place they enter is the Ante-Inferno, which isn’t really part of hell but is still a place of eternal punishment for those who were neither good nor evil. In this part of hell they were continuously strung and bitten by bees and wasps and were consumed by worms. As they exit this part of the Inferno they pass a river called Acheron, which is the border of hell. As they cross the river Dante sees all the damned souls waiting to be punished and sent into hell he then realizes that only the punished and eternally damned souls enter into hell and faints at the thought of entering such a place he might not be able to get out…

    First, the author uses imagery to vividly explain the sufferable experience sinners will have in hell. For instance in the ninth paragraph Jonathan Edwards coldly states, " When you look forward, you shall see a long for ever, a boundless duration before you, which will swallow up your thoughts, and amaze your soul , and you will absolutely despair of ever having any deliverance,…

    Whether or not there is a doomed afterlife in which is called “hell”, everybody has their own perception of what their “hell” would be like. Rather your view of hell is eternal detonation or a place consisting of deathly flames and Satan’s head down in a bucket of ice, most people do not wish to be summoned into the depths of hell. However; Jonathon Edward’s sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” portrays briefly the vivid imagery of how hell was represented during the Second Great Awakening. In addition, Edwards aim was to teach his listeners about the horror of hell. Thus, Edwards’s dramatic interpretation of hell frightened the people who followed by God’s word and urges those who don’t to call upon Christ to receive forgiveness.…

    Through the use of imagery and classical appeal of pathos, Jonathan Edwards effectively injects fear into his congregation of their destined fate. "The devils watch them; they are ever by them at their right hand; they stand waiting for them, like greedy hungry lions that see their prey, and expect to have it, but are for the present kept back" (Paragraph 11). The use of vivid imagery instills fear into Edward's congregation. Edwards appeals to pathos through this descriptive simile as he describes the devils like hungry lions, waiting for God's command to consume humankind. Edwards states: "The wrath of God burns against them, their damnation does not slumber; the pit is prepared, the fire is made ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them; the flames do now rage and glow" (Paragraph 10). Pathos is present as he descriptively characterizes hell and the pit in great detail. The audience is terrified by the reality of his words and are driven out of fear to listen to what he is saying. Jonathan Edwards compares this banishment and pit to a snake: "The old serpent is gaping for them; hell opens its mouth wide to receive them; and if God should permit it, they would he hastily swallowed up and lost" (Paragraph 11). The description of the serpent evokes despair through the congregation. The…

    Dante feels hell is a necessary, painful first step in any man's spiritual journey, and the path to the blessed after-life awaits anyone who seeks to find it, and through a screen of perseverance, one will find the face of God. Nonetheless, Dante aspires to heaven in an optimistic process, to find salvation in God, despite the merciless torture chamber he has to travel through. As Dante attempts to find God in his life, those sentenced to punishment in hell hinder him from the true path, as the city of hell in Inferno…

    Torture by separation” (8). This can be related to how a Christian, who has been sent to hell, would be separated from god, their one, true love. Lastly, although this may have been hard to pick up on, it is possible to see the connection between the fiery Christian hell and the hot, steamy room that No Exit was placed in. Garcin would constantly attempt to take his coat off due to the extreme heat and once exclaimed “Whew! How hot is it here……

    With the thought of Hell comes the spine-chilling red devil with instruments of torture, shrill screams of pain, and an encompassing, sweltering heat. Jean Paul Sartre proves in his play, No Exit, that Hell is not this petrifying scenario that is so popularized, but that Hell is simply other people. He uses metaphors to prove that the characters lose their sense of selves in hell, and have no other way to look at themselves except through the other people present.…
