But The Shawshank Redemption (1994) portrays a worldly dimension of hell: prison.īased on the novella Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King, the film begins in the state of Maine in 1947. Such wild accounts seem as if they belong to another world. Accounts through the millennia depict hell as a realm full of fascinating and ghastly demons, endless tortures, with Satan ruling with a fiery fist, and where hope is impossible. Still, hope promises a time or place where things will be better, even if it seems we’re stuck in perpetual hell. Hope is sustained by the confidence we have in our knowledge of the situation, although the possibility of being deceived, by others or ourselves, can undermine this confidence. It enlivens projects and maintains focus. Hope helps keep us alive and anticipating the next sunrise with joy rather than gloom.
