QUESTIONS!!!!!*****
In Sandman, God is never explicitly referred to by name. There is only mention of “The Presence”which the angels acknowledge. Do you think it was a respectful representation?
2. Some of God’s characteristics in Sandman: Is He omnipotent? Merciful? Eternal? Does He seemfamiliar to you?
3. Describe ‘Hell’ in Sandman. What is God’s role in Hell? (You may—if you wish—compare Gaiman’svision of Hell to descriptions by others, e.g. Dante, C. S. Lewis, etc; or compare it with your own idea.
4. God’s relationship with His created: How do the angels act toward Him? How does Sandman? Doesthis resonate with you? Why or why not?
