I was reading back over old entries for some reason (do you ever do this? Am I a freak yes) and I saw this: WE ARE TOTES DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. Er, at least, I know we're both doing Book 12 for the lit. paper. YOUR THOUGHTS ON TURNUS, WHAT ARE THEY?
ALSO, WHY IS AMATA (I BELIEVE THAT IS THE NAME OF LATINUS' WIFE) LIKE BASICALLY DIDO REINCARNATED?
Hahaha I read over old entries a lot (looking at nice comments I've got makes me happy XD).
And reading my previous comment made me laugh because we ARE doing Ovid, but the Metamorphoses are SO MUCH BETTER than the Amores. SO MUCH. I'm kind of liking Turnus more than Aeneas right now, especially when he's like 'Juturna, I totally knew all along it was you, I am not stupid.'
ALSO, WHY IS AMATA (I BELIEVE THAT IS THE NAME OF LATINUS' WIFE) LIKE BASICALLY DIDO REINCARNATED?
YES YES OMG. I had this huge, sinking feeling of DESPAIR when we were doing that bit. Why are all the women in The Aeneid so USELESS?
Did you find that bit where Aeneas was chasing him around the field and Juturna was like 'LOL ESCAPING TIEM!' and then someone cut off the crest from Aeneas' helmet and he was all 'BITCH, NOT THE FEATHERS", like, insanely amusing? Also hilarious was the bit where he made his angry impassioned speech about burninating the crap out of the city and it first said that he stood on a small mound, and then it had changed into a HILL in the space of a few words.
I was just completely perplexed as to WHY Aeneas was suddenly so angry? And then I think it sort of implied that all his chariots and men were running away from him and I don't know whether I actually got the right end of the stick there because that doesn't seem to make any sense... :S
I did lol at his mound though, mostly because he was being all grand and epic...on a mound.
