Key Notes
Jiang says the Romeo episode restates Jesus's teaching that worldly wealth is false wealth and that true reward belongs to those who do right, accept earthly poverty, and are compensated in heaven.
Jiang explicitly frames Romeo as a figure very much like Dante: a participant in political struggle who is rejected on earth but ultimately vindicated in heaven.

Relevant Lectures And Readings
A source-grounded reading of a five-hour hybrid workshop that begins with Macbeth and ends by turning Purgatory, free will, tragedy, envy, and generosity into one model of human transformation.
Jiang turns late Inferno and early Purgatorio into a struggle over imagination itself.
Paradise first appears as receptivity rather than rank, then the lecture widens into vows, memory, resurrection, original sin, and Jiang's culminating wager that God created humanity because perfection alone cannot imagine.
