hell

interj. damn!, confound it! (used to express displeasure, irritation, etc.)

n. place of punishment and torture where the wicked are sent after their death; misery, torment

Hell, according to many religious beliefs, is an afterlife of suffering where the wicked or unrighteous dead are punished.Hell is almost always depicted as underground. Within Islam, hell is traditionally depicted as fiery. Some other traditions, however, portray Hell as cold and gloomy. Some theologies of Hell offer graphic and gruesome detail (for example, Hindu Naraka). Religions with a linear divine history often depict Hell as endless (for example, see Hell in Christian beliefs). Religions with a cyclic history often depict Hell as an intermediary period between incarnations (for example, see Chinese Di Yu). Punishment in Hell typically corresponds to sins committed in life. Sometimes these distinctions are specific, with damned souls suffering for each wrong committed (see for example Plato's myth of Er), and sometimes they are general, with sinners being relegated to one or more chamber of Hell or level of suffering (for example, Augustine of Hippo asserting that unbaptized infants, whom he believed to be deprived of Heaven, suffer less in Hell than unbaptized adults). In Islam and Christianity, however, faith and repentance play a larger role than actions in determining a soul's afterlife destiny.
