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.
