Everyone loves a good tragedy. The ones that make you cry and give the person next to you a big hug. Jack and Rose in Titanic; ninety percent of the people I know cry every time they watch Titanic.

Vergil’s Aeneid. Using mythology‚ Ovid tries to convey political messages discreetly. Throughout the Metamorphoses‚ Ovid sets a significant amount to discussing about women who are victims of male domination and violence.
