Heaven and Hell Divided in The Great Divorce by C.S. LewisC. S. Lewis is known throughout the world for his ability to insert theology into fantasy. He is the author of many books such as The Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity. One of his least popular books, but which he considered among his favorites, was The Great Divorce. The title refers to the separation between Heaven and Hell. Although it is a relatively slim book, it is full of thought-provoking questions regarding one's faith.

"I thought you wouldn't mind if I attacked you…for I notice you feel just as I do about the present company." This is interesting because the narrator has never seen or spoken to this character before. Another instance is on page 29, "What's the point of letting all that riffraff float around here all day. Look at them." Again, another ghost seems to be attracted to the narrator and speaks to him as if they had met before. Those people who were already in heaven, the main character calls "solid people". He called them that because, unlike ghosts, they were not transparent. The solid narrator, or teacher as he calls him, is George MacDonald and he is introduced at the beginning of chapter 9. George MacDonald is a famous writer and C.S. Lewis has never tried to hide the fact that he admires Mr..
