evidence
The terrace of envy is structured by countervailing voices of love and prayer, suggesting that envy is cured not only by pain but by a liturgy of reversed desire.
model
The sewn eyelids of the envious function as an image of forced inwardness: those who lived by looking sideways at others are deprived of sight in order to be remade.
evidence
Sapia's confession defines envy as rejoicing in another person's defeat more than in one's own good fortune, while also showing that charity from the living can still matter after death.
other
Dante the pilgrim distinguishes his own dangers by saying envy is not his deepest fear compared with the heavier punishments below, preserving a layered moral topography rather than flattening all sins together.
