1 | '''Basic Trope''': The traditional portrayal of {{Hell}} as a fiery place of eternal torment. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob goes to {{Hell}}, and is thrown into a lake of molten lava. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Then fished out, ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice, [[FlayingAlive skinned]], [[NoKillLikeOverKill dunked back in the lava pit, thrown into sulfuric acid]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking given an atomic wedgie.]] And that’s after he was mutilated and stabbed dozens of times. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': The torment is not eternal, although it may last for a long time and/or feel like eternity. |
5 | * '''Justified''': Hell takes on AFormYouAreComfortableWith... OK, Comfortable isn't the right word, more like [[SelfInflictedHell Uncomfortable With]]. |
6 | * '''Inverted''': |
7 | ** Bob goes to FluffyCloudHeaven. |
8 | ** [[EvilIsDeathlyCold Hell is freezing cold.]] |
9 | * '''Subverted''': |
10 | ** Bob goes to Hell, but [[AHellOfATime it's not so bad.]] |
11 | ** Hell exists in this story, but it means "eternal separation from {{God}}," not a literal place. |
12 | * '''Double Subverted''': |
13 | ** It's an IronicHell |
14 | ** Bob ends up with [[HumansAreBastards other people]] who are in the same boat, and frequent [[WarIsHell wars]] happen that involve arson, people being thrown into lava, or sometimes (already dead) people being so depressed that they're DrivenToSuicide (but never succeed because they're already dead), [[FateWorseThanDeath for all eternity]]. It's the ''ultimate'' WretchedHive. |
15 | *** Alternatively, Bob is completely alone for all eternity and ends up [[GoMadFromTheIsolation going crazy as a result.]] |
16 | ** ... except that it turns out [[https://biblehub.com/psalms/139-8.htm one isn't really separated from God]] (KJV). |
17 | * '''Parodied''': |
18 | ** On top of all of the above happening under "Exaggerated," Bob is [[ChainedHeat handcuffed to]] [[ObnoxiousInLaws his bitchy mother-in-law]]. |
19 | ** It's revealed that [[SubvertedTrope it's all fake, just for the tourists]]. |
20 | ** Hell is actually Heaven's heating system. |
21 | * '''Zig Zagged''': ??? |
22 | * '''Averted''': |
23 | ** Bob goes to {{Heaven}}. |
24 | ** The afterlife Bob goes to is just a generic world of the dead where ''everyone'' ends up. |
25 | ** Or, there is no afterlife, just TheNothingAfterDeath. |
26 | * '''Enforced''': The traditional view of {{Hell}}, that is probably familiar to the audience. |
27 | * '''Lampshaded''': "...To Hell, where you will drink naught but burning lava and eat naught but burning coals..." |
28 | * '''Invoked''': Hell is created along with the earth, and it's created as a firey pit. |
29 | * '''Exploited''': Charlie the caveman is in search of fire, so he deliberately acts bad so that he could find it. |
30 | * '''Defied''': {{God}} makes sure nobody ever goes to Hell at all. |
31 | * '''Discussed''': "So... If I'm bad, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I get]] [[AppeaseTheVolcanoGod thrown into a volcano?]] |
32 | * '''Conversed''': "Actually, the whole fire and brimstone thing is WordOfDante." |
