A 4 page essay that discusses why Virgil pictures Aeneas as possessing human flaws. Aeneas, hero of Virgil's epic poem The Aeneid, is, in many ways, the epitome the ancient Roman conceptualization of virtue. He accepts the will of the gods that he should be the founder of Rome. He displays compassion for the suffering of others, heroism in battle, and piety towards religion. In fact, Aeneas is so perfect that he would be totally boring except for the fact that Virgil's characterization tempers this perfection with a basic human flaw, which is Aeneas' tendency to act on emotional impulses that conflict with his destiny. This feature is particularly evident in regards to Aeneas' courtship and love affair with Dido, the Queen of Carthage. No additional sources cited.
