Virgil sees the emotion of dido however; he refuses his emotions to come in the way of his duty. As a man‚ Aeneas disregards emotions and feelings for dido. It is similar to the modern day saying that men do not cry. The belief that emotions make men weaker still holds true in the modern day society. If Aeneas stays with dido‚ his peers would consider him less of a man and
