This
paper emphasizes the differences between Aenaes and Dido in terms of their futures, in Virgil's "The Aeneid". The paper
focuses on the love that Aenaes and Dido shared and how this love had to be abandoned in order for Aeneas to achieve his ultimate fame. Although Aenaes feels
sadness in accepting his fate initially, his sadness does not compare to the depression Dido experiences, which eventually leads to her suicide.
