The Irony Of The Movie ' Hell '

Dante Alighieri, as you know, was a religious Italian poet during the late middle ages who wrote on of the most famous poems of all time: Dante’s The Inferno. In The Inferno, like many of Dante’s other poems, he uses an array of literary devices that give his poems more depth and make a specific point to the reader. One of the many literary devices that Dante utilizes throughout the Inferno is irony. Dante uses irony in two ways in the Inferno; first to illustrate to readers that what you do in life comes full circle and haunts you in hell.

Both forms of irony, however, serve the purpose of touching the reader and

I awoke today with the light streaming into my room and hearing the birds chirping in the distance. As I regained my conscience, I smelled the mold and felt damp room conditions all around me that imprisoned me. It reminded me of what would have happened only in a nightmare.

It is the brain’s way of working through the problems that plague the mind, serving as a warning system and giving premonitions of events to come.

First came the pride, an overwhelming sense of achievement, an accomplishment due to great ambition, but slowly and enduringly surged a world of guilt and confusion, the conscience which I once thought diminished, began to grow, soon defeating the title and its rewards. Slowly the unforgotten memories from that merciless night overcame me and I succumbed to the incessant and horrific images, the bloody dagger, a lifeless corpse. I wash, I scrub, I tear at the flesh on my hands, trying desperately to cleanse myself of the blood. But the filthy witness remains, stained, never to be removed.

The levels are named Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud, and Treachery made for different types of people that committed sins under these circumstances.

The film, Hell or High Water, is aptly named. The phrase means a strong will to do something, regardless of any difficulties which may lie in the way. This is exactly the mindset of the two brothers in this crime thriller which takes place following the 2008 financial crisis.

False promises collided around me. All in one, thoughts of a dejected soul. Never seen enough heartbreaks; A sensation of a world—where it's full of lies. Lord take thy strength.

Comedic films and theatrical productions generally focus on the average human. This excludes people with extraordinary amounts of influence or power such as kings, queens or superheroes. Grecian comedy dissects the social or personal aspects of an average human’s life and uncovers their foibles and frailties. A minor weakness will usually lead to the character falling into some form of temptation which stands as the climax of the plot. This minor weakness of the character helps develop the storyline.
