I love the imagery used when Dido is convinced by Anna's advice to let her romantic passions take over. The intricate layout of the sacrifices is kind of beautiful in a weird macabre manner. But glorious macabre. It's intriguing that this slaughterhouse bloodbath also comes after the comment that Dido forgot her scruples. Immediately following this we see that the prophetic vision of Æneas is falling apart. All the projects are forgotten. I thought of the Republic. The city's guardian has forgotten her (insert greek word for soul that I don't know how to spell) and her city is in shambles.
P. S. I commented on Ashley's.
