1225 Words5 Pages

Through the Aeneid, Turnus has been the cause of Aeneas’ new rage and caused Aeneas to undergo a improvement in his duty to found Rome and to kill any abomination that will prevent that. Which made Turnus a good opponent for Aeneas. Aeneas shows his ability to control his rage and channel it so that he can critically think about what to do in battle throughout the war. Turnus only shows what he’s capable of doing while Aeneas is gone from battle or not present in with his army meaning Turnus is nothing when is on the battlefield with Aeneas. Aeneas towards the end of the book notices that in order to submerge the latins to become romans, he has to teach them the hard way to submerge. Aeneas shows his ability to control his rage and channel it so that he can critically think about what to do …show more content…

Aeneas receives his armor from his mom on his visit to King Evander: “Aeneas takes delight / in the goddess’ gifts and the honor of it all / as he runs his eyes across them piece by piece”. (VIII. 727-729). Aeneas after coming back with his new armor and reinforcements from Arcadia, he finds out what happened during his abstinence. The sea nymphs which was his fleet gave him the information about how the war is going on and how the trojan ramparts is being sieged. When Aeneas gets back, he focuses on getting the latin army away from the ramparts. Aeneas is successful from getting the latins away from the ramparts and begins to turn the tides of the battle. During the battle, many died including young Pallas who is killed by Turnus. Aeneas finding out that Turnus kills Pallas goes on a rampage for the grief he feels for Pallas. But Aeneas learns to control the grief-rage when he kills Lausus saying: “And this, at least, / may comfort you for a death so cruel, unlucky boy: / you went down under the hand of great Aeneas”. (X. 980-982). Aeneas pity's the boy because

  • Flawed Characters In The Aeneid

    Aeneas, more than any, secretly Mourned for them all (Virgil 1). Aeneas suppresses his own human feelings and shows how “extraordinary” (Johnson 1) he is by doing so while also furthering his pietas - “the study fulfillment of his duty to god and man” (Sullivan 1). Although Aeneas is suppressing his feelings and is portraying his hope towards his people, Virgil writes about how Aeneas hurts and mourns because of his fallen comrades more than any of his men whom he is leading to Italy. This shows that Aeneas is not the perfect heroine that Virgil alludes to throughout this Augustan propaganda piece, but the opposite - a man who is hurting just as much as anyone else, a man who is following his orders, a man who is a soldier.

  • The Aeneid And Jesus Analysis

    1721 Words  | 7 Pages

    In the Bible and Virgil’s The Aeneid, the pursuit of honor and glory is complex, and it does not come without serious consequences and hardships. However, while Jesus and Aeneas both strive to achieve a certain goal due to divine intervention and both overcome certain adversities, their underlying motives and their ultimate outcomes are starkly different. Although it would appear that neither Jesus nor Aeneas would be motivated by personal fame or glory—as they were sent on godly missions, this is not the case in The Aeneid. Jesus acts completely selflessly as he teaches others about the Kingdom of God and how to live their lives, whereas Aeneas is working to win greatness for his ancestors as he was sent by the gods to settle and create an

  • Passion And Control In Virgil's The Aeneid

    When the poet Virgil wrote the national epic The Aeneid between 29 and 19 BC, all written works and conduits for creative expression were monitored by Roman ruler Augustus Caesar – a real-life contention between passion and control. Throughout the excerpt on pages 139 and 140 of Fagle’s translation (which covers themes such as fate, the gods, and divine intervention, and piety), Virgil explores the underlying theme of conflict between desire and duty, emotion, and reason. Exploring irony, the comparison of Dido and Aeneas’ traits, and pietas being a decision, Virgil shows Aeneas to be a flawed, enigmatic epic Roman hero who personifies the human conflict – passion versus control – of the Aeneid and the Roman empire itself. To begin with, it’s

  • Dido's Internal Conflict In The Aeneid

    I think Aeneas has a lot of internal conflict throughout the story. At the beginning of the story Aeneas cries out, not only because he was being thrown around in the see, but because he was broken at the fact that he couldn’t save his king, his family, his people, or his homeland. Virgil writes, “At once Aeneas, limbs limp in the chill of fear, groans and lifting both his palms toward the stars cries out: “Three, four times blest, my comrades lucky to die beneath the soaring walls of Troy—before their parents’ eyes! If only I’d gone down under your right hand—Diomedes, strongest Greek afield—and poured out my life on the battle grounds of Troy! Where raging Hector lies, pierced by Achilles’ spear, where mighty Sarpedon lies, where the Simois River swallows down and churns beneath its tides so many shields and helmets and corpses of the brave!” (984).”
