Dido makes me laugh, because she exemplifies a woman who can't control herself. She goes and makes a vow and can't keep it! Ladies, Dido doesn't make you look good. I understand that some men have qualities that just make you lose your mind and forget your values, but values are, well, more valuable. For a while, I was okay with her changing her mind, but then she goes and wishes that Aeneas will "drink his punishment". OUCH. He wasn't even staying there for her, really. My favorite part, though, was Aeneas' reaction to this. He was so "duty-bound" that he simply "sighed his heart out" (can't you picture it?) and returned to his fleet. Poor Dido... she was played.
I commented on Brydon's
Your post made me laugh. I can see where you're coming from though. She does seem to act a little dramatic at times, but no fear. We aren't all that bad..
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing! Dido definitely doesn't seem to be able to keep her emotions in check.
ReplyDeleteOh this post is great. I definitely agree with you though.
