What Is The Relationship Between Aeneas And Dido's Relationship?

79 Words1 Page

Hi, Maura,
I really enjoyed reading your post in Aeneas and Dido 's relationship. Their relationship was very tragic yet an interesting love story. Dido invested more into the relationship than Aeneas not only because they were forced to be together, but that he didn’t feel the same as she did. Though they started as strangers and ended up falling in love, I think it was meant to be for the both of them even though they didn’t stay together.
