diagnosis
A student says Virgil is stopping Dante from digging deeper, but Jiang emphasizes that the singular feature here is not simple redirection but open anger and threat.
diagnosis
Jiang explains Virgil's anger as the rage of a plagiarizer being found out, since the Adam-Sinon episode points back to the Aeneid as the real problem rather than to Sinon alone.
diagnosis
Jiang says Virgil's anger does not prove confession but refusal: he is enraged because he does not want to admit the charge of plagiarism.
diagnosis
Jiang says prophetic anger comes from seeing disaster coming in advance, which is why biblical prophets and Dante sound furious rather than merely informative.
