“Hell is just a frame of mind.”
What this quote means
Marlowe suggests that hell is not a physical place but a mental construct. Our negative thoughts, regrets, and fears can create a real inner hell. This idea is liberating: if hell is a state of mind, we have the power to escape it by changing our perception. It invites us to realize that our suffering is often amplified by our interpretation of events, and that the key to well-being lies in our ability to transform our inner dialogue.
