XXXI/4 The Tarot is again invoked with a slightly modified version of the Torre card (the word occurs five times in the Canto). This card, dealing as it does with the fate of vanity and ambition, is paired with a partly concealed Giustizia to indicate God's vengeance on the Giant's pride and arrogance. Another yet more concealed card contains a reminiscence of the letter-forms of the frontispiece (again a fictitious card as in Le Stelle of XX/1). The sun, placed directly in front of the sword of Giustizia, recalls Jupiter's revenge on Capaneus (who also, in Thebes, fell from a battlemented wall). The two figures of course can be taken to represent Dante and Virgil in their voluntary fall through Hell. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
