Hi, I am a sophomore at Eastlake High School and my Lit. teacher assigned us to read parts of the Aeneid. I have read the part that he has assigned ua but i am a bit confused about the questions we have to answer. and if someone is willing to help me with the questions i would be very appreciative!
1. In what way does The Aeneid develop both a sense of Roman origins and a sense of Roman nationalism?


I don't understand the Roman nationalism and the Roman origins part...

2.  What does Aeneas killing of Turnus reveal about his character?

I was thinking something like Aeneas was revenge-full because Turnus killed Pallas and Turnus was wearing Palla's belt thing and then Aeneas remembered his friend and that Turnus killed him...

3. WHat is the conflict between desire and obligation? WHich characters and situations best capture this conflict?

4. Compare Aeneas and Achilles (we also had to read The Iliad) What heroic evolution exists in the Roman epic that The Iliad lacks?

I am not asking you to like do this for me, I am just needing some help to better understanding the questions....thanks a bunch!!!
Lynsey
