THE RAINBOW AFTER A STORM

The Aenid of Virgil narrates a lot of things purely about adventures of a leader and presumably about the war which caused this adventure. This selection can be best described having the theme of ultimate victory through defeat and terrible loss. As we all know, Aenas and his countrymen went through a lot of challenges before attaining their objective. A lot of sacrifices and hardships happened including deaths of the people they encounter. Even before their journey, they already felt the impact of their loss against the Greeks which pursued the Trojans to take their path involving a great journey ahead of them.

They even encountered the wrath of the gods that got through their way, making a lot of things to prevent them from finding and building new Rome. Another terrible loss they encountered is that when a great warrior of theirs, innocent Pallas, died. This really caused a big fire and urge for Aenas to kill Turnus. But after their hardships, victory is what awaited them in the end. They attained new Rome which enabled them to start a new life and build a new city.

This tells the readers that before you get what you wish for, you’ll have to go through different obstacles first that will challenge you and will only prove if you are worthy of the ultimate victory you will get.
