Summary

Herman Melville: Heaven for Bachelors, Tartarus for Virgins

If anyone doubted the existence of heaven and hell, now they have Herman Melville, who visited both places, recorded the most important details and left the reader to draw his own conclusions. It turns out that Melville is a traveler in other worlds, and although he is certainly not a theologian, he still claims that the two places are in no way connected. But again, it turns out that something connects them. And that something is an unusual light, which, although different from each other, appears only in these two places. A story in two chapters, of unequal length (the story of Tartarus is somewhat longer, perhaps because so much is known about Paradise), entitled Paradise for Bachelors, Tartarus for Virgins, appeared in 1855 in Harper's Weekly. The author stayed in paradise in 1849, of course, it is in the famous city of London. Even without theological knowledge, we understand that the light that illuminates the sky is the most beautiful imaginable. How it came about, the author explains between the lines, shyly, one would say that he himself is a bit clumsy. It is not the light of southern climates, where it pours abundantly on everything. This light illuminates the circle, which is formed by certain magnificent buildings and parts of the River Thames. Outside that celestial circle, the light is different. Tartarus is located on the other side of the world, so to speak, in the heavenly Massachusetts. Touring it after Paradise, the author saw that it was ruled by a machine, and the light was always intensely white. In hell, another name for Tartarus, the light is more intense than in the London circuit. In the tour of Tartarus, the author, as when he toured the sky, had a guide, but even if he did not have one, the snow-white light that penetrates inside makes visible all the suffering. If suffering could not be seen, it would have no purpose. It goes without saying that the suffering in this Tartat far exceeds the messages from the paintings of Jerome Bosch, even though there is no fire there. Eternal ice reigns there.
