4. How have you seen pity misused?

5. What do you think of Lewis describing Hell as almost undetectably small compared to Heaven?

6. Lewis makes the point that "Bad cannot succeed even in being bad as truly as good is good." How does this shape our perspective on evil and suffering?

7. What do you make of Lewis' analogy of the lens?--What of the chess board?
