Topic Scope And Freshness
Key Notes
evidence
Jiang treats the marble carvings as living art that defeats nature and immediately establishes humility as the first visual lesson waiting inside purgatory.
model
Jiang identifies the first interior scene of purgatory as carved artworks of humility, making visual exemplars rather than abstract doctrine the pilgrim's first medicine.
model
A student answer Jiang leaves standing is that love is what lies beneath beauty in the deepest artwork, which would explain why beauty can become morally formative rather than merely pleasurable.

evidence
