God is not a torturer, all fire is ultimately for purification. The lake of fire is the second death, all death will be destroyed before God can be "all in all".
Why is it, that everything in Revelation is considered symbolic, except when we get to fire, especially the "lake of fire" and it is literal??
When fire consumes the combustible material it goes out, dross, chaff, symbolize evil, these are the combustible material. God redeems the life that is His out of each of His creatures. When God created man, He said, "It is very good!" He will redeem that "very good" out of every creature. As He will do of the complete cosmos, because it is all very good.
