LOST RESOLVED2

1. Aeneas has several love affairs, but his is with Dido, queen of carthage. As commanded by Jove, he must leave Dido to go to Italy. Like Juilet, she perishes as a suicide in a fiery pyre. but in lost Dido ( who is Vergil's Penelope) and jack becomes more and more like Aeneas are set by faraday's sacrifice on their Journey. 2)One of the great scenes in the aeneid is the death at sea of Aeneas' pilot, he dies like Charlie drowning to atone for the error of the chosen ones (the surviving Trojans)3) the Hades of Vergil is much like the hall of mirrors that jack destroys. jack is not ready yet. He is not yet able to accept his mission. 4)The shields of Achilles, Aeneas, and Jack all show all the aspects of life. So where is jack's shield? This answer requires a very obscure response. Odysseus is awarded all of Achilles' armour including the shield. Who made these shields It was the blacksmith of the gods. who is lost's Blacksmith? our very own mib! And who turns the wheel most often. It is the man of many twists, Ben. 5) The engagement ordained by heaven is that between Penny and Desmond. Exactly the opposite of Vergil: the Queen (Eli Hawking) tells Desmond to leave Penny alone. The King has already tried to stop him. But Desmond assuming the role of Odysseus (Not the pious destiny of Jack, but the sailor separated from his constant love.) He cleverly captures his Penelope both in "reality" and through the direction of Zeus/Faraday in Flashsideways. And who has been rejected by Juilet (the Major Penelope) but loses the treasure of Widmore's empire. Surprise, once again it is the man of many twists, Ben. Desmond plays both Odysseus and Hermes. 6)Just as Jack turns into Aeneas, not Odysseus, and sacrifices everything for God. This is what they all died for. In virgil, it is the founding of Rome. In Lost, it for the sake of ordered pious universe. In the Odyssey, they did by the thousands to show the supremacy of the man of many twists. 7)But at very end of the Odyssey, there is a sign. It is a bit like the Church scene in that it ends all possibility of further action. But the poets from Homer onward never let the king of Ithaca rest. 8)Not even darlton allows the man of many twists any rest. He is Joyce's wondering middle manager and then Ben becomes the man of my twists to another Telemachus named Walt. Hurley gets the role of Mentor (the divine athena). 9)Ben will not be redeemed for long, Odysseus will never cease his voyages. when you get to the end of the Odyssey, you see that my endless fascination with two characters is the direct result of how the Odyssey ends. The end of Lost resembles Virgil's world. But the epilogue opens the door that Homer never imagined: a fictional character immortal as God Himself.
