Key Notes
evidence
Ugolino's eternal punishment represents immutability: he remains locked in an unchanging loop of biting the archbishop's head instead of facing his own responsibility.
diagnosis
Jiang reads Ugolino through Achilles: both redirect guilt and self-hatred onto another body instead of accepting the betrayal that came from their own choices.
diagnosis
Jiang reads Ugolino's sons' offer to be eaten as a final act of love toward their father.
model
Because Ugolino has organized his world through betrayal, he cannot recognize love when his sons show it and instead consumes them.
