Very detailed notes here.

Just be careful about making too much of small details and thereby misinterpreting their meaning eg: Teresa feeding her children bread is not really about putting herself before others... and Michele covering himself in pig manure is mostly about self-preservation (although it does show the lengths he is willing to go to to fulfil his responsibility to Filippo)

# data[].attributes.body
however, don't entirely relate to the ideas that are proposed in the text but more the literal events. could be difficult to connect them in a context response

otherwise very extensive analysis
