Aeneas
BOOK 1:
Aeneas thinks those who died in Troy are more fortunate than him, wishes Diomedes had killed him,
weak and scared, wishes he had died a heroic death, aidos “those whose fate it was to die beneath
the high walls of Troy with their fathers looking down on them were many, many times more
fortunate that I.” moping mf
“Known for my devotion” thinks the God’s hate him “kept misery deep in his heart” “save yourself
for better days” “my friends” “no equal in the field of battle” “no equal in his piety” “stood there
resplendent”
Jealous of Carthage “how fortunate they are, their walls are already rising”
BOOK 2:
Retrospective victim of fate wants to kill Helen conflicted flawed character. “The sorrow you bid me
to bring to life” “no man could speak of such things and not weep”
Retells how Hector told him to leave Troy to found Rome
Asks bunch of questions “if any right hand could save Troy, it would be mine”
Given role of creating Rome by Hector
Take with pinch of salt because he’s telling the story to Dido
Pietas, chosen one with sense of duty
Link to page 13, both led people to a new land, same dreams about dead people with wounds
appearance of Dido’s husband
“escape” “save yourself” “it seemed a noble thing to die in arms”
“Mindlessly I put on my armour”
Goes into frenzy to fight, duty to Troy, anger drew him on “frenzy” “anger” “mindlessly” furor
Hector usually first to fight but tells Aeneas to leave
“Let us die let us rush into the thick of fighting” brave and encouraging, inspiring trojans to fight
After Priam’s death, remembers his father and wife
Is mean about Helen
“Grief stricken” about dead wife “I called her name…again and again” she as a ghost is focused on
future reminds him of duty to the future, he is focused on the past “there prosperity is waiting for
you, and a kingdom and a royal bride”
Ends book two as head of an army
