Dido's Curse As Revenge Or Prophecy
What nuance could be lost if Dido’s final curse in Book 4 were translated as an explicit wish for revenge rather than an ominous prophecy?

B
It inaccurately represents her character as primarily vindictive instead of tragically forsaken.
C
It reduces the complexity of Dido’s emotions and her relationship with divine will.
D
It understates the thematic significance of fate versus free will present throughout the Aeneid.
