ESSAY ON: Fire/A Recurring Motif in Virgil's Aeneid

Number of Pages 10

This research paper: A 10 page research paper that analyzes the use of fire imagery in Virgil's Aeneid. The writer argues that references to fire serve to underscore and inform certain thematic material, such as heroism, piety, Juno's revenge, the Roman sense of duty, and the passion of Dido and that in exploring the various ways in which Virgil employs this motif, it is also evident that the passion that it represents, while dangerous, often escaping rational control, is also crucial to the fulfillment of Aeneas' destiny. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
