S: God created the Earth and everything in it in six days. He made man in his own image and gave him dominion over all the Earth. God set them in the Garden of Eden and gave them a commandment not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Eve the first woman broke that rule and both man and woman were separated from the garden and Him. C: Here the them of Creation and Fall can be seen just as it is in many other creation stories. This would lead one to believe that there is a form of redemption further explained in the Bible. 2. S: Eve bore two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain killed his brother Abel and was cursed by God from the land and became a “fugitive and wanderer of the earth”. C: Here it can be seen that not only is God a God who is only …show more content…

By the will of the gods they end up together and though not married act as though they are. Realizing that he has strayed away from his fate, Aeneas readies his men secretly to leave. As they are leaving, unfortunately, Dido stricken with grief, anger, and sadness falls on a sword that Aeneas left behind killing herself. C: This book at first seems as a distraction from the main point of the book as a whole. However, this so called sidetrack allows the reader to see that Aeneas succumbed to the same desires as normal men and had a lot to learn to become a great leader. In a way, one can see how a leader is born by understanding where the leader started. 26. S: Aeneas finally makes it to Italy, where upon arriving build a temple to Apollo and is eventually granted access to Dis. While down in Dis, Aeneas meets his father who gives him information that allows Aeneas to get a better grasp on how important his task is. C: By going to the Dis, Aeneas demonstrates his ability to take direction and follow it through. This is further shown through his actions and is a good description of his talents as a leader of the future Roman people.

Something I did not see earlier was Eve was deceived (she was never given the command from God not to eat of the tree, Adam was before she was created. See Gen. 2:16-17). Adam was openly disobedient and blatantly blamed God and Eve. “The man said, ‘The woman whom You gave to be with me (Blame!), she gave me from the tree, and I ate (Adam’s rationalization)’” (Gen 3:12, NASB).

The Aeneid, as well as The Inferno, depict hell as a place where there are multiple levels and where sins are punished differently depending on the degree of severity, the evilest of sins receiving the worst punishments. Virgil like Dante portrays an afterlife in which people are awarded for their deeds. This kind of belief would have been prominent in a character like Aeneas, he would have believed that his deeds would have been justly rewarded in the afterlife. While he most likely did not have the same set of values and virtues that St. Augustine later had after his conversion he did live by a code of honor or a set of values that pertained to his time and culture. The virtue he possessed that motivated him to establish a new home in modern day Rome was one of honor, which was very important to ancient civilizations, both greek and Trojans alike.

“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:5). John Steinbeck’s work, East of Eden, is the one he considered to be his greatest, with all novels before leading up to it. Indeed, it grandly recounts the stories of the human race as told by the Bible, including Adam and Eve, but most prominently that of Cain and Abel. It touches upon both Steinbeck’s own family and a fictional family in a depiction of “man 's capacity for both good and evil” (Fontenrose). Joseph Fontenrose, however, criticizes Steinbeck’s message as contradictory and convoluted, with no clear relationship between good and evil.

If I were a refugee in Virgil's Aeneid, I would follow Aeneas as a leader because he embodies the values of courage, compassion, and devotion towards his people and the gods. As Aeneas escapes the burning city of Troy with his family, he shows “alarm at every sound, alert and worried alike for my companion and my burden” (291). Also, when his wife is missing, he “puts [his] life in danger as before” (292) and courageously runs back into the city in order to find her. By displaying devotion and concern towards his family, Aeneas shows that he will remain loyal to his followers and ensure their safety when leading these people to a new land.
