Those in Hell love sinning more than they love God and thus cannot turn toward the Good and Truth that could otherwise be theirs. You would be begging to enter Heaven but asking to take your sin in with you. It is like the proverbial monkey trap. The monkey won’t drop the fruit bait and as such, he cannot pull his fist out of the narrow hole in the coconut.
False analogy is false. The one not letting go in this instance is God.
Something, something . . . God's essential nature (that I just posited) . . . something, something . . . .
Fictional characters never get to be other than what their creators have decided they will be.
