The fact that "love and warfare" is mostly overlooked is astounding due to the fact of many cases being that case like the bible, empires, and even the story Rappaccini's Daughter. The trapping and enduring pain of an unfortunate victim that was succumbed by lust and worship to a beauty is represented in the text multiple times. An Aristotelian that realizes the reality of the situation is heated as he ventures into the dark life he has been dreaming of out of the window into safe haven, it corresponds with the writing intensely and adds thorough depth in the knowledge of literature. Medicine, philosophy, and theology is the common poison of the ignorant commoner and can’t get past the sin that has been done to be trapped in an everlasting forest of lust. A young mind in the event of seeing a future sexual and lasting relationship can boggle through for quite a while, and the individual won’t be able to see another reality without it. Giovanni pursued his desire into the wrong from the good to be with Beatrice knowing she had a very serious condition being held in a haven for her al...

  • Fire, Furor and Internal War

    1187 Words  | 3 Pages

    Psappo’s poetry was the model from which ancient cultures defined love. Her views on love have influenced many works of literature, including The Aeneid of Virgil. Love is an uncontrollable force that strikes an individual from the outside and can occur suddenly as well as unexpectedly. Love is often depicted as a positive emotion that causes people to feel blissful, but this can easily turn into furor; furor is the aspect of love associated with violence and insanity. Dido’s love for Aeneas exemplifies the internal turmoil that afflicts individuals when they are deprived of the love that they crave so ardently. Virgil accomplishes this through the incorporation of the symbol of fire and through the platonic metaphor of the war between reason and appetite in his work.

    Turnus is next in line to become disturbed by Allecto, tainting both his heart and mind. “She hurled a torch and planted it below the man’s chest, smoking with hellish light” (Book VII. 629-630). This quotation makes reference to rage, insanity, and anger, all of which lead to war, death, and suffering. The major topics are motivated by female characters and disrupt the ordinary balance of everything, in this case, the groundwork of Ancient Rome. Allecto can be regarded as a female figure whose actions are far from minor, rather a source of the larger scale complications that contribute to annihilation, bloodshed, and misery.

    War was said to be honorable and noble and soldiers were portrayed as masculine and courageous figures by the public. The character in the poem “thought he’d better join” which emphasizes his naivety and it can show how war was well promoted and was a popular topic with young men. However the next short sentence, “He wonders why…” creates a juxtaposition between strong will and intense regret. Regretful feelings, which are created by the ellipses, intensify the atmosphere of regret and remorse. This creates contrast between “though he’d better join” which indirectly conveys a sense of deceit. Another pair of quotation that contrasts the difference of his state of mind is “younger than his youth” and “Now he is old”. The repetition of the idea of youth suggest not only his young age before the war but also his naivety and innocence. This creates contrast with the adjective “old”. “Old” refers to both his physicality and mentality: his aging appearance and his tired and exhausted state of mind. He is metaphorically compared to an old person to illustrate the ferocity of war and how it took away his liveliness. The statement “One time he liked a bloodsmear down his leg” refers to his passion for football matches and how he use to view wounds as an honorable mark. This contrasts with the extended metaphor of color and how war “poured it down shell-holes till the veins ran dry”. The imagery of blood, which is connoted by the words “pour” and “veins”,...
