Explain How Stylistic Information Supports Interpretation Practice Test

Vergil introduces Dido’s passion with language that emphasizes concealment and internal injury. Read:

Latin (Verg. Aen. 4.1–2): At regina gravi iamdudum saucia cura / vulnus alit venis et caeco carpitur igni (“But the queen, long since wounded by grievous care, nourishes the wound in her veins and is consumed by hidden fire”).

Explain how alliteration and assonance in gravi… saucia… cura and caeco… carpitur contribute to the interpretation of love as an inward, consuming force rather than an external event, consistent with Roman moral vocabulary of cura and self-control.

In Aeneid 1.3–4, vi superum (“by the force of the gods”) uses compressed, abstract diction. How does this diction contribute to the theme of human limitation under divine power, without requiring interpretation beyond the words themselves?
