There are no torture devices, no hellfire. People bring out the best in people, and they similarly bring out the worst in people.
I read No Exit. It depicts three people in hell and stuck in a room they cannot escape. There is a brief meeting with a doorman, but other than that, they are on their own. They are all responsible for why they are there, and they all know exactly what they did to earn their place in the room. They committed their separate crimes by their own free will, and now the three are condemned to a love triangle for eternity. That is the hell; that is the torture. The torture is in wanting what they cannot have, and being ruled by people that grate on your nerves. Although all humans constantly need more, and are hardly satisfied in life. They continue to accumulate possessions until they die. People get a taste of it in life, but in hell it is almost unimaginable to think of being locked in a box with people that you shall never escape from. You can never walk away or leave them and never see them again. They will be there beside you always. The torture.
