She is here in this situation because she was given some expensive bread to give to her parents when she went to go and visit them. Inger is a girl who cares more about herself than anyone else. She makes excuses not to see her parents and seems more like a brat. Some say she deserved to go to Hell because she used the loaf of bread to step over a puddle because she was “dressed in her very best clothes and put on her new shoes.” (607) She ends up in two different places, the first is the Bog-Witch’s lair. The bog witch is the aunt to the elves and here is where her body stiffens up to a statue leaving the bread attached to her foot. She could feel “the snakes and toads felt so cold against her body that she shivered and shook.” (608) Then the great-grandmother of the Devil likes Inger and states that she would look great at the entrance hall to Hell. Once Inger arrives she notices that she is not the only figure waiting here and that “every one of these immovable statues had a soul within it that was as restless as its body was rigid and stiff.” (608) She has all these flies around her, that didn’t have wings and she was filthy but nothing compared to the hunger she felt. She wanted to break a piece of the bead but was not able to because she was stiff as could be. Inger could her from above what people would say about her and they didn’t feel bad saying she deserved it except for a little
