Good metaphor to summarize his entire action and narrative in movie.

That wasn't Satan it was Virgil. Virgil is Dante's guide into Hell in the Divine Comedy. He represents human reason, but this film adds a celestial aspect to him making him seem like the grim reaper or perhaps an angel.

[@jeremyforwe5412]

I believe that him and verge have had this same discussion and made this same trip a bunch of times. One of the reasons I believe this is because verge keeps shaming him and keeps bringing up love. He does this because he is bored and tired of doing the same thing over and over again. Jack never makes it through the 9 circles and because of this it starts all over again. Also if you notice at some point in the beginning Jack mentions the walk in freezer and when he does this Verge sarcastically acts like he doesn't know what he is talking about. Also take in to consideration that when they "first" meet verge tells him "I heard you had an interesting theory on the material.. That the material is it's own will. Jack was building a house before he started killing but the killing took over his life. So to me Verge was trying to tell him to follow the dreams and goals he had.

[@vl5545]

The whole movie we witness is Jack telling his story to Virgile while they are walking down that hole. Explaining the narration of the entire movie until that point. It is worth watching more than once... At some point when he explains how he failed building his house, we see the wooden frame of a house, with stairs leading to a hole in the unfinished ceiling, leading up rather than the hole in the ground where they finally go under the corpsehouse... to me this symbolize Jack struggling to live a proper righteous life, where he tried to stick to the right path but his twisted mind and psychological issues took over.
