The Great Divorce



In this Christian work, C.S. Lewis uses an allegorical story to discuss the afterlife and freedom. He has a character visit "lands" that have their own personal "quirks" representing various aspects of the "good" or the "bad". People that do almost everything good, yet maintain "favorite sins" will find company with others that enjoy these favorites, and will not make it elsewhere. A world where "everything is provided" will also not be a pleasant place to live.

This story form works will for explaining some complex doctrine.
