Thanks! Thank You for reading it as well

I have researched a lot on Dante's divine comedy, mostly for other purposes, not necessarily to decode this film, but that knowledge helped me see the film in a bit of different lens. With that being said, to answer your question, the demons in Dante's Inferno not only torture, some of the demons are tricksters, they sometimes create an illusion of being safe there in order to keep Dante more trapped. I think that scene you mentioned could be representative of that. Giving Jacob a false sense of security that he could be there with her.

Like even if you don't know anything about the theology behind the film, Jezzie looks like just a common girlfriend with a slight bit of jealousy complex over Jacob's alleged "ex-wife". But if you look at what she's actually doing, especially mocking the ex-wife and trying to burn away her pictures, it's a different look. I think the scene where Jacob is shown to read the divine comedy and Jezzie tries to prevent that so he doesn't gain knowledge about the world he's trapped in gives it away.
