How Does This Version Of Hell Sound For A Story

What would hell sound like?

Interesting question.I guess first, we would have to establish which view of Hell we are talking about.  Given my background and personal beliefs I really can't comment on any view but the Christian one.  Descriptions of Hell vary throughout the Bible but the unifying element of all the pictures (to my understanding) is that Hell is a place isolated from the presence of God; a place of quarantine for those who have chosen separation over redemption.  It can't be overemphasized enough that our presence in  Hell is a choice that we make for ourselves.  God sends exactly zero people to Hell and, as stated, in scripture, our choosing to be there is against God's will and breaks His heart.Visual imagery of Hell is pretty to find in the Bible but the sounds are a bit more elusive.  In the Book of Matthew, Hell is a place where we can hear the sounds of wailing and gnashing of teeth.  The reason for the wailing is most likely all-consuming sorrow and regret for having chosen to be in Hell rather than in God's presence in Heaven.   Gnashing of teeth, to me, would indicate the overwhelming fear caused by being in a place devoid of the solace that the presence of God brings.   Finally, Hell as mentioned above is a place of quarantine.  Think of it as a giant solitary confinement, which I think is an apt image. This makes sense given the personalities of various of the occupants.  Honestly, would you really want to be in a place where people like Hitler and Stalin or, say, Jack the Ripper are roaming free?  And they would be the tip of the iceberg.  Far greater horrors like demons, the Watchers, the Fallen Ages and Lucifer himself would be present.  The isolation, then, serves to keep the inmates from harming each other.  Cut off from God's light, Hell will be a place of eternal, impenetrable darkness where  the inhabitants of Hell are left alone with their thoughts for eternity.  Given that repentance is no longer possible it seems natural that soul-rending rage and terror and agony would be the sounds heard.   Really, in my opinion, I would give it a pass unless you're a fan of the concept of 24/7 lock down forever. It seems Hell will be short on parties and bar-be-ques and hedonistic games of beach volleyball and long on soul-crushing remorse and terror and alone-ness.  Best not to bother, really.

How can there be two totally different perceptions of a story like Dante’s Inferno that sounds so ancient and boring that I never had an interest in reading it and the Dante's Inferno anime that was extremely edgy?

As far as I am aware, Dante did not take any part in neither directing, not screenwriting for that anime. I seriously doubt he even saw it to say it has stayed true to what he said in his one and only version of La Comedia.Anything that is not a written La Comedia, is not really Dante’s La Comedia, but a vision of other people. They may or may not have been able to stay true to the original work. Some of the translations are pretty good. Some less so. Adaptation into an animation is quite some stretch, so while I have not seen that anime, somehow I doubt it’s the same body of work.Being boring is a matter of opinion. La Comedia being one of the greatest works of writing, humanity has ever seen on paper is a fact.

How do native speakers of English say the 's-th' sounds, as in 'What's the story’?

Important note: Native English speakers have a lot of regional accents. The largest variety may be in England, where it all started, but in addition Australians sound different from United States New Englanders who sound different from US southerners who sound different from Canadians who sound different from people from Long Island near New York City… As far as I can judge, though, I have one of the relatively “neutral” accents, so I’ll do my best with your question.First of all, in all your examples the “s” is pronounced like a “z”. “Th” is a single sound (what linguists call a “dental fricative”, meaning it’s made by letting air flow through a tiny gap between the tongue and the upper front teeth) - as far as I know, English, Icelandic, and Greek are the only languages that use this sound, and it’s very hard for people whose native languages are anything else to say “th”, and probably also hard to hear it as a distinct sound. (So don’t worry if you can’t get it right - we know it’s a challenge, and we make allowances.)To answer your question at last - we don’t exactly pause between the two sounds, but they don’t blur into each other either. So all of your examples sound like “z th���. To you, they may sound more like “z d” or “z t” or “z v” or “z f” - d, t, v, and f are the sounds non-native speakers often use instead of th.
