Key Notes
model
The gluttony terrace is staged around a fruit tree that intensifies desire precisely by denying satisfaction.
model
The second gluttony tree repeats the pedagogy of denied fruit: longing is provoked and then disciplined by command and exempla.
diagnosis
Jiang explicitly links the student’s dream to the purgatory tree scene and frames the dream as a sign that the seminar is already working on the student’s conscience.
model
The tree works by awakening sensory memory of the body, especially smell, while denying actual consumption.
