This week on **Framed**, we’re taking a little trip to hell. After a more personal start talking about grief, death and saying goodbye, we head straight into **Dante’s Inferno**, **Botticelli’s…
Today, Steph, we're going to take a quaint little trip, a curious adventure, a stroll, a frolic, or a prance through Tartarus, the underworld.
Oh.
Well, if we're going to Hades, which I'll preface this.
When I asked Nana B if she wanted to go back to church after COVID, she said to me, no, I don't need to.
I'm getting in heaven.
She's right.
She's right.
She's up there.
She's up there.
She's not down below.
So let's go to Hades.
Go to the Lake of Fire, Gahana, Naraka, the Bottomless Pit.
And no, I'm not talking about Paran after 5pm.
Ayo!
It is
scary.
It's getting worse.
I am talking about H-E double hockey sticks hell.
Hell is often described as a place that our mortal souls should get sent to if we don't adhere to a certain set of rules.
It is a place of fire, brimstone, sulfur, where all of our terrors surround, where we are punished to spend the rest of our past life enduring our own ironic torments, living our cringest moments on a loop, tortured day in, day out by an often reported jacked red hunk with cloven hooves.
Art and culture has also been enamoured with and inspired by the depiction of hell or demons.
I mean, it's become so day-to-day that we have a footy team called The Demons, a sassy fashion blockbuster film, The Devil Wears Prada, a red rooster burger called The Hellfire, a term for an unruly, problematic, hyperactive gay man, Demon
Twink.
I even feel like I should say a little prayer of forgiveness after I have a KFC Wicked Wing.
