OK how about Faustus?
To add to the Titanic Metaphor list: The character Rose as a metaphor
for all the women who are told that the ultimate and pinnacle of
achievement is to become an ornament of some rich scum and who seek
self-actualization and independence in a system that commodifies
everything and turns people into things/commodities and things into
personifications and power structures into "the natural/eternal order
of things."

Well, Jim, since you asked, how about Dante's Inferno. An eternity of
