In the works we have read over this past semester, Lewis has presented us with several different depictions of Hell. The Limbo-like grey world of The Great Divorce seems a plush vacation resort in comparison to the traditional rather hot and firey place alluded to in The Srewtape Letters. Though the intents of each book are vastly different, I do wonder why Lewis didn't stand by one particular interpretation of the Scriptures........I'm sure he knew that the "Lake O' Fire" concept of Hell in the Western mind grew primarily out of medieval church paintings...so why didn't he deconstruct this idea in The Screwtape Letters? Though, I do suppose it is alright to have a fixed idea of what exactly Hell is in order to have the desire to stay out of it....perhaps he was trying to explain that the reason for excepting grace shouldn't be simply to stay out of Hell, but for the love of Christ.
