Key Notes
model
The student dream is interpreted as a pattern in which the desired truth cannot be directly seized across the river but must grow inwardly through reflection.
other
Jiang treats the siren dream as another vision sequence to be interpreted rather than as a merely decorative episode in the poem.
other
Jiang tentatively identifies the honest woman who interrupts the dream with Beatrice, while stressing that the whole scene remains interpretive and speculative.
model
Jiang treats the paradox of Beatrice speaking to Virgil inside Dante's dream as evidence that the dream is collapsing Dante and Virgil into one another.
model
Jiang says Dante senses that Virgil's exposition of love is not right before he can fully explain why, and the universe responds by sending corrective dream images.
model
Jiang says Dante's heart already knows Virgil's exposition of love is wrong, but because Dante lacks maturity the universe must reveal that truth through dream imagery.

diagnosis
