    "Midway through the journey of our life‚ I found/myself in a dark wood‚ for I had strayed/from the straight pathway to this tangled ground." These famous lines from Dante’s Inferno signify the themes of religion and personal salvation in the poem. Often when one embarks on a journey of self-discovery‚ they travel to places which astound one by their strangeness. Expecting to see what is straightforward and acceptable‚ one is suddenly presented with exceptions. Just as such self-examiners might encounter

    Souls frequently ask Dante to remember their names and to talk about them on earth‚ and on many occasions Dante promises to do so in return for information.

    One of the Aeneid’s main themes is that for both gods and mortals‚ fate always wins in the end.

Jupiter‚ whose unalterable will is closely identified with fate because he is the highest of the gods

The ordinary bad hat is always in part a decent fellow”. These words lead me to believe that Turnus from Virgil’s Aeneid is not a true villain at all‚ rather‚ he is simple a misunderstood‚ misinterpreted counterpart to Aeneas. Although we can
