Ingredients for a Tragic yet Victorious Character


Perseverance, determination, and fate made Aeneas become successful through his life. He nearly became a casualty when the Trojan War begun, but here is his mother telling what he needs to do. Because of his strong determination, he had overcome many obstacles. One of them is his loss to the Greeks in the Trojan War. He lost most of his comrades and friends in the war. But he still continued to search for a new hometown, based on what the gods have been telling him. 

Another thing that made Aeneas victorious through defeat is his perseverance. Perseverance is shown by Aeneas by not giving up even though it was hard for him to do some things, like when he is about to consider Turnus but he still killed him because he wants to avenge Pallas’s death.

And last but not the least is Aeneas’s fate. He is fated to be the founder of Rome through defeat and terrible loss, as proclaimed by the gods. So, Aeneas had no control of this fate and it was all true, thanks to the gods.
