[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page research paper that summarizes various points in Tasso's sixteenth century Christian epic poem "Gerusalemme Liberata" (Jerusalem Delivered).

Tasso's protagonist is Godfrey of Bouillon, who is depicted primarily as a general and a strategist.

Tragedy of Dido
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that examines Book Four of Virgil's epic poem of Rome's founding, the Aeneid, which relates the tragic love of Dido for the epic's hero Aeneas. This section of the poem pictures the course of Dido's love in five stages, which range from her realization that she loves Aeneas to her suicide, as his ships sail away. Throughout this narrative, Virgil pictures love as the equivalent to disease, an external force that subverts attention from what it truly important in life, that is, one's responsibilities. The implication in the poem is that Aeneas, being male, is better able to keep a proper focus than is the hapless, lovelorn Dido. No additional sources cited.
