What if anyone in Hell could take a bus trip to Heaven
and stay there forever if they wanted to? In The Great Divorce C. S. Lewis again employs his
formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer finds
himself in Hell boarding a bus bound for Heaven. The amazing
opportunity is that anyone who wants to stay in Heaven, can.
This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation
upon good and evil, grace and judgment. Lewis's
revolutionary idea is the discovery that the gates of Hell
are locked from the inside. In Lewis's own words, "If we
insist on keeping Hell (or even earth) we shall not see
Heaven: if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain
even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell."
