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

English

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.

Dicken's object of social criticism which is referred in this excerpt is that, the system of education which treats children as if they are machines. It is shown in the novel that only the society but it did not focus on its emotional context.
Teachers only cared about the results of the input which they gave and if is not corrected then the students will bring to the society.
This is the reason why there is a big gap which is between the poor and the rich. Rich believes that the poor can make it if they can strive harder.

What is the difference between the public sector and the private sector? What is a market economy regulated by? What is a planne
zubka84 [21]
The public sector is the part of the economy that is funded and administered by the government. The private sector is the part of the economy that is controlled by free and private interests. 

A market economy is regulated by the private sector, more specifically by market forces of supply and demand. A planned economy, in its purest form, is completely controlled by the government, meaning the public sector makes up the entire economy.

 In reality, there is no country whose economy is purely market-controlled or planned.
