How do Aeneas’s piety and sense of duty change as the poem unfolds?

English
1 answer:
Ierofanga [76]3 years ago
3 0
From the very beginning of the poem, Aeneas is aware that he has to follow the course of his destiny - and not the destiny he has chosen, but the one that was chosen for him (we might even say: imposed upon him) by the gods. However, even though he knows this, he is utterly unhappy about it and finds it difficult to leave behind everything that is dear to him. He sincerely grieves for his love with Dido, whom he has to leave. But in time, he gets to understand that his cause is a really worthy one.

The most significant shift in his character's development happens in Book 6, when he meets his father Anchises in the underworld. Anchises unravels to his son the future of the empire that he is to build. That is the decisive moment, when Aeneas realizes that all his personal sacrifice isn't for nothing. Hitherto, he had had many doubts and second thoughts about this sacrifice. But from that moment on, he will invest all his mental strength in his leadership, and commit fully and enthusiastically to his grand mission.

Why does atticus feel he should defend tom robinson? is it usual for (white) lawyers to do their best for black clients in alaba
mr_godi [17]
Atticus knows he probably won't win but he does this anyways to uphold his sense of self-respect and justice

it isnt usual for white lawyers to do their best for 2 reasons i believe:

1) black people are usually convicted so its almost possible to defend them even if they are innocent

2) like a lot of people there were also some racist lawyers
