| description | This article aims to show the influence that the Latin poet Virgil had on Tolkien’s work, especially in one of his heroines. This will be demonstrated through the analysis and comparison between the two most influential female characters in their respective works: Dido and Éowyn. This comparison will be made from the perspective of their own histories, as well as their relationship with the male protagonists: Aeneas and Aragorn. Thus, throughout this journey, we will be able to study the similarities and differences between them as well as their individual evolution. |
