[continued]

The older order of Vices (on p.13)* is pleasing in that almost all of them appear fleetingly or are hinted at in the characters of the corresponding Archetypes in [2]. So, perhaps to a slightly less exclusive extent, do the Virtues. Apparent anomalies might be Sloth, for xS** (although the error which she confesses after her dance [in[2]] is due to lack of forethought, and is uncharacteristic of the other Archetypes); and Hope, for +Mk. This last, however, raises complex and interesting questions as to what +Mk is actually doing; I do not think that Hope is necessarily out of place.*** On Outer Circle (and perhaps Inner?) here, even Faith becomes difficult, and Caritas (Love – for God) has not yet arrived; but Hope is still possible, and can carry you through.****
