Another random Aeneid post, because it's consuming my brain WAY more than I thought it would
Turnus is such an interesting character to me. He's this dude who wanted to marry this girl, and was pretty ok when he was denied that, UNTIL Juno/Hera stepped in and literally turned him insane.
He's got so much depth, too. There are times where he will be absolutely chill, but then he's breaking his way out of Aeneas's camp by literally splitting people from top of the skull to bottom of it and then just throwing himself into a river to get away.
He's like, Virgil's madlad of the highest order, and I kinda love him
in a "please God let me watch him from a distance and keep him AWAY from me" way.
