What could be a valid counter-argument?
Chloe: A counter-argument could be that he uses women, generally, as weak characters because Venus ultimately steps down and stays out of Aeneas’ encounters. Also Dido kills herself despite her power ole and Juno also steps down and lets Aeneas win the war. Jared: Yeah, he usually portrays women as weak characters or even crazy and easily controlled, like the part where they burn the ships. I think Chloe has it right, I mean they all step down from their incentives and give in to Aeneas. Taylor: I agree. The women are in the story for show. Venus does have some actions in the story but it eventually comes down to how the men act and not the women. Women are being petty. Kelsey: What might be interesting is bringing up Camilla and how she seems a lot like Juno. Not necessarily power hungry but strong and kind of manly. And it says somewhere that she was happy to die a virgin so she clearly doesn’t need a man like Dido. Erica: I agree with Kelsey, you should bring in the character of Cam
