I think Tolkien meant "hell" in the general sense of a pit or a place full of flames and fumes, where you would be tortured and made to suffer, by flaming demons, wraiths, and other followers of the Dark Lord. There, your mind would be overthrown, and you would be broken both physically and mentally. In other words, Angband. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
