Dido, Queen of Carthage

""Dido, Queen of Carthage: A Tragedy"" is a play written by Christopher Marlowe in 1586 and published posthumously in 1594. The play is based on the story of Dido, the legendary queen of Carthage, who falls in love with Aeneas, a Trojan prince who has been shipwrecked on her shores. As their love grows, Dido becomes more and more consumed by her passion for Aeneas, but he is torn between his duty to his people and his love for Dido. The play explores themes of love, duty, fate, and betrayal, and ultimately ends in tragedy. Marlowe's poetic language and vivid imagery create a powerful and emotional experience for readers and audiences alike.
