The final part of the film depicts the strange voyage of Jack and his guide Verge through the dark underworld, in a manner similar to Dante Alighieri's famous 14th-century Italian poem "La Divina Commedia" (The Divine Comedy), but Dante himself is channeled in hell ('Inferno') and eventually given to God by the character Virgil. In one scene, Verge makes it clear that he is the author of the epic "Aeneid," which was written in real life by the Roman poet Virgil. In "The Divine Comedy", Dante enters Hell's vestibule through the gates of hell, on the door to the ice vault symbolizing that Jack can only manage to open near the end to find Welch on the other side. Jack and Fergie can then be seen crossing the bleak river, doing the same thing in the classic portrayal of Dante and Virgil. Hell consists of nine layers (circles), each designed to punish a specific type of sinner. They pass by a hut in a dark forest, reminiscent of that of The Antichrist (2009), possibly symbolizing the second layer of the desire to punish. The murky waters in which they swim and float may represent the fifth layer, anger, for those who hold ill will towards others. The lowest level of hell is usually reserved for those who commit betrayal, but the Verge told Jack he only took him there for sightseeing, because Jack belongs to the upper levels (probably the seventh, which is reserved for those who persons who commit violence by others). When Jack tries to climb out of hell and falls to the ground, he may end up in the actual center of hell where those who betray God are punished by Lucifer (Satan) himself.

The final part of the film depicts the strange voyage of Jack and his guide Verge through the underworld in a similar way to Dante Alighieri's famous 14th century Italian poem "La Divina Commedia" (The Divine Comedy), where Dante himself is guided through Hell ( 'Inferno') and eventually to God by the character Virgil. In one scene, Verge clearly identifies himself as the author of the epic "Aeneid", which was written by the Roman poet Virgil in real-life. In the Divine Comedy, Dante enters the vestibule of the underworld through the Gates of Hell, symbolized by the door in the freezer that Jack only manages to open near the end to find Verge on the other side. Jack and Verge can then be seen crossing the river of wailing in a classic depiction of Dante and Virgil doing the same.Hell consists of nine floors (circles) with each floor created to punish a specific type of sinner. They pass by a cabin in a dark forest that is reminiscent of the one from Antichrist (2009), and may symbolize the second circle that punishes the lustful. The murky waters that they swim through and float in may represent the fifth circle, Wrath, for those who bear ill will towards others. The lowest circle of Hell is typically reserved for those who have committed the sin of treachery, but Verge tells Jack that he only took him there for sight-seeing, as Jack belongs a couple of circles up (possible the seventh circle, which is reserved for those who committed violence against others). When Jack tries to climb his way out of Hell and falls down below, he may end up in the actual center of Hell,where those who have committed treachery against God are punished by Lucifer himself.
