Commentary Purg X 67-69

Where David, down among the common people and dancing without kingly dignity, reflects the low comedic world, Michal, high above the crowd and separate from it, scornful, seems to represent the lofty, 'tragic,' or noble view.  David here serves as a forerunner for Jesus, who will identify himself with humility, while Michal seems to be associated with all those who resist humility in the name of pride.
