Hell is a place where people go in their afterlife; it is a godless existence. Jean-Paul Sartre and Dante Alighieri have two separate visions of hell. ... At first glance, Sartre’s vision of hell in No Exit is much like a hotel room where people have to spend eternity with each other. Dante’s vision in The Inferno is a lot like the more traditional description of hell, at the center of the earth with fire and torture devices.
Dante’s hell is shaped like a cone; a place in the ground where Lucifer fell from heaven and created a place of damnation. ... The fourth ring of hell is for the greedy. ... The final and lowest ring of hell is where Satin himself lives. ...
Sartre’s hell is more complicated yet very simple. ... There is no need for instruments of torture, because of what we learn from Garcin’s famous line: “hell is-other people! ... Ugly furniture, a bell that does not work, a door that does not open and paper knife that is useless, that is what hell is made of. ... Both visions of hell are separated from everyone on earth.
Now which hell is worse, Physical torture or mental torture?
