Analysis Of The House Of Sin By C. S. Lewis

1331 Words6 Pages
The paradise of Earth is the greatest lie ever been written by man. Yes, God created the world for humankind to dwell and to produce God’s love during creation. Humanity was supposed to exemplify God’s character for the world to know God’s existence. However, men broke the covenant with God and ended his blessing by defiling God’s image. Today, we dwell in a nightmare where Earth is infected with sin, the most deadly diseases out of anything. Sin has all the components of diseases, along with the side effect of death.

All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened” (Lewis). Dante's classic text Inferno is a tale in which Dante is lead by Virgil down to the
