model
No one can redeem a person from hell for them; redemption requires the person to choose self-forgiveness, love, and imaginative expansion.
normative
True love does not force another person toward redemption; forcing someone to self-reflect would violate love and free will.
model

model
Jiang says the Iliad is fundamentally about the curse of power and love's ability to redeem and save, which Virgil will invert in the Aeneid's ending.
