model
Jiang highlights a tonal difference between hell and purgatory: demons tend to block or fall silent, while angels are responsive and even enthusiastic about helping the pilgrim continue.
evidence
The reading of Canto 21 introduces grafters and corrupt officials submerged in boiling pitch and hunted by demons, shifting the lecture from the homosexuality dispute into the bolgia of graft.
evidence
Virgil tells Dante to hide and then confronts the demons by appealing to divine will and helpful fate rather than by sheer force.
diagnosis
He argues Virgil responds to fear by becoming proud and arrogant before the demons, effectively flexing rather than admitting uncertainty.
diagnosis
He interprets the demons' compliance as suspicious because the circle of fraud is built on deception; their obedience is likely the first move in a trick against Virgil.
diagnosis
He treats Malacoda's line that there is 'no malice' in the demon escort as a classic fraud tell: the verbal assurance itself is evidence that trickery is coming.
