i never see this stuff mentioned(i suspect it's either to obscure or to obvious to be commonly discussed) but the gatekeepers of the tower each represent one of dantes seven sins
EDIT: update to fit with leviathan and envy link, greed also now has a gatekeeper.
in no particular order
cerberus: pride, gave his soul to dante in regocnition of defeat
agni and rudra: sloth, once i thought about how they were composed of ONLY the swords, this made more sense, as they don't actually do anything during the fight, also, at the start of the fight they spend like a minute talking mindlessly, and once defeated they beg dante to take them with him, dante agrees if they only shut up, agni and rudra make a very poor effort at this, also think about something else in the fight, agni and rudra, even on DMD mode don't actually power up much or for very long, even though there is no reason stated or even hinted that they tottaly can't. (dante seems to have them activated at will, meaning either he has forced them into going along with it, or he is channeling his own power into the swords to activate them)
geryon: At first i saw sloth, but with a better look into the backstory of him i realize now gluttony makes sense, as he was created by eating to many souls.
leviathan: envy, this was well explained a few posts below
beowulf: hate, very angry at sparda and dosn't do much more then rage during the fight.
nevan: lust, do i even need to explain?
while arhkam nicely fits as greed, i think he may not be the one to represent it(or at least the role is shared) i think, in fact, that the thingie dante gets at the start of mission 11 may actually be the gatekeeper of greed it fits the gatekeepers in the same general specifications, it's demonic, it tries to kill stuff, and it's own power is used by dante (to power the bridge)
and since it gives him power in exchange for his souls, it really does seem to be greed, furthermore, if by "his soul" we take that it means the "good" or "pure" parts of his souls were the ones it was absorbing, leaving it's victim, what's that common political word? yup leaving it's victim corrupt(corrupt means dishonest, a link to the lies and knives in the dark that are associated with greed, such as the whole kill your sibling ruler stuff). and the battle against doppelganger could be seen as representation with dante fighting the sin within himself (notice how he fights doppelganger right after realising what's important because of lady, like, right after, like 10 minute or less. like,yeah,like,like. like like like lik elike like)
