Camilla Essay
\nI haven’t finished reading the\u00c2\u00a0essay yet, but I wanted to go ahead and post it before\u00c2\u00a0we run out of time.
\nSo far, so good. Becker proposes (so far) that Camilla takes\u00c2\u00a0a place of honor toward the end of the Aeneid, “undercutting” Turnus’s character. She commands the reader’s attention by commanding the attention of those surrounding her within the story. Sure.
\nBut then I get confused. The essay talks about Camilla as a character being the embodiment of the general confusion of the Aeneid. Granted, I read a chunk of the\u00c2\u00a0Eneas the other night like everyone else, but I can’t say I completely understand that theory– not yet anyway. I suppose I’d have to actually break down and do the reading.<\/p>\n
