The description is definitely reinforced with the association of hell - fire - burning souls - torture - fed with small pieces of flaming fire.

Faustus addresses himself: Page 3 line 18 - 21 “Ah, Faustus, now hast thou but one bare hour to live, and then thou must be damned perpetually.”

Faustus refers to himself in the third person: Page 3 line 26 “That Faustus may repent and save his soul!”
