He describes the punishment as eternal repetition: the sinner is torn apart, re-forms in the pitch, and immediately resumes the same delusion of getting away next time.

Key Notes
Jiang says the dominant explanation in Dante's time for Jesus's death was the ransom theory: humanity became enslaved to Satan after the Fall, and God offers his son as ransom, with Christ's divinity allowing resurrection and escape from hell.
A live student answer proposes that Jesus dies and resurrects in order to prove he is truly divine, and Jiang says some denominations in fact teach the crucifixion-resurrection this way.
The Dante passage says animal and plant souls are drawn from matter by holy rays and motion, but human life is breathed forth immediately by the chief good and therefore grounds the reasoning for resurrection.
Jiang returns to Dante's line about deducing resurrection from the fashioning of the first parents, using it as the next interpretive problem.
In Jiang's reading, Dido's love for Aeneas costs her pride, reputation, people, and identity, the opposite of Odysseus being resurrected by returning home to Penelope.
The word about the brooch resurrects Penelope's spirit: her mind remains stuck in present danger, but her soul always knew and her heart now knows Odysseus is alive.
Odysseus stringing the bow represents the resurrection and realignment of his mind, spirit, soul, identity, and worldview.
