So this is Hell. And there’s a crucifix in it.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker looks around and declares the place Hell, then adds, with apparent wry surprise, that it contains a crucifix. The quip sets a symbol of faith inside a vision of damnation, so the remark reads as a bemused observation about how oddly that emblem turned up there.
