Dido: The Kingdom of The Dead

In book 6 i think that Dido is ment to show how the gods mess with peoples lives and make them unhappy and lost. When we first see Dido in the underworld she is explained as "wondering there among them,...drifted along the endless woods." This makes Dido appear to be lost as if not knowing what to do because her fate has been twisted by the gods. If it was not for the gods she would still be ruling a high power city and very happy. I think that she is being compared to what is happening to Aeneas. Aeneas's path is set by the gods, him having no say in what is going on. This causes him to be unhappy because he will never be able to sit down and have a family, the only reason he fell in love was because of a trick of the gods. Much like Dido, Aeneas is wondering around without a say in what he does pretty much floating around by the gods will just like Dido is stuck in the underworld. However Dido is now free from the power of the gods and is able to love her husband who is her true love. Aeneas, unlike Dido, is not free, he will roam on working hard his whole life only to die leaving his mission to be completed by someone else.
