Key Notes
model
Jiang says Dante places lust, gluttony, greed, and wrath in Inferno but not envy, pride, and sloth; instead Inferno escalates toward fraud, violence, and treachery.
model
Jiang says Dante transforms the usual seven-deadly-sins logic by making lust, gluttony, greed, and wrath into signs of too little ego, will, and hope rather than too much.
evidence
Jiang describes Purgatory as a seven-terrace cleansing mountain where each removed 'P' strips away a sin until Beatrice can lead Dante upward.
