There is another level of clues in the play that I take as direct hints 
from Wolfe to the reader. Saint's names with significant history are of 
this type IMOP. I looked up the name Carina in more detail:

St. Melasippus
Martyr with Carina, his wife, and Anthony, their son. They suffered at 
Ancyra. Melasippus and Carina died under torture. Anthony was beheaded.

So St. Carina was a mother, and her son is associated with decapitation. 
That's another good Catherine hint.
