However, the amount of Church authority figures in Hell is staggeringly high. The ironic revelation is never fully dissected by Dante but the implications of this writing may cause the public to turn a leery eye towards the Church. Throughout Dante’s Inferno, the sights of “Holy” men rotting in Hell create a rift between the teachings of the church and the common citizens.…

Within this particular interactive oral, the idea of whether the hell in No Exit is represented or disregarded as a theological Christian hell was presented upon us. Throughout time, the Christian hell has been depicted as a fiery, unforgiving place, as shown in the bible verses, Matthew 13:49b-50, “The angles will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing teeth” and Revelation 19:20b, “The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur”. This theological hell has also been seen as place of separation from god and restlessness. At first glance, the hell in No Exit differs from a classic Christian theological hell in many ways.…

Pediatricians frequently wear bow ties since infants cannot grab them the way they could grab a four-in-hand necktie, and they do not get into places where they would be soiled or could, whether accidentally or deliberately, strangle the wearer. Clowns sometimes use an oversize bow tie for its comic effect. Classical musicians traditionally perform in white tie or black tie, both of which are bow ties. Bow ties are also associated with weddings, mainly because of their almost universal inclusion in traditional formal attire.…

“A small boy of 11 years, was curled up in a ball of fresh flesh and blood, in his eyes was a glance of lost hope, abandonment, and defeat. He was without vision; A little girl at nine years of age, was pinned up against a tree…her legs apart, and she was covered in things even hell can’t imagine; excrement, urine and blood . . . in her mouth was cold fresh meat, cut with a machete, that of her father… near in a ditch with putrid water were four bodies, cut up in pieces, stacked up-their parents and older brothers.”…
