Darkness? With all of those flames? Are you sure?
There will be actual and continual darkness, the greatest darkness will be the absence of God. The flames you think that will be there IMO will not. The eternal punishment of fire is the representation of no love in hell. The absence of all love will be worse than anything man could conceive, so the fire is used to show man the true horror that man chooses when refusing Christ.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
