When Ugolino introduces himself‚ he refers to who he was rather than who he is‚ separating his person from his current state and no longer identifying with his human self (Vernon‚ 1894). Ugolino also tells Dante of a dream he had while imprisoned in which he was a wolf‚ perhaps the male equivalent to the she-wolf that Dante meets in Canto 1‚ the symbol of greed (Barolini‚ 2015).
