I thought the portrayal of hell was interesting for a few reasons. First, the souls of those who were there seemed more human than spirit. They were still bound by human experiences. For example, Dido still held a grudge against Aeneas, and turned and walked away from him as he tried to speak. It would seem as though a soul wouldn't be limited to mortal emotions. Second, I thought it was interesting to see Aeneas's reaction when he sees his father. Aeneas tries to hug his father three times but fails, just like Odysseus did when he saw his mother.
I commented on Sydni's.
