•
the storm and the tryst between
Aeneas and Dido in the cave;
•
the intervention of Jupiter after Iarbus’ appeal;
•
Aeneas’ leaving Dido;
•
Dido’s suicide in a self-made funeral pyre.
But Marlowe’s play is far more than a translation exercise. As well as some editing down of
speeches and
rearrangements for dramatic
purposes, the following plot elements are wholly Marlowe’s creation:
•
the exchanges between Jupiter and Ganymede at the start of the play;
•
the sub-plot involving Anna’s
love of Iarbus;
•
the first attempt by Aeneas to leave Carthage without Dido’s knowledge;
•
the
scene with the nurse and Cupid;
•
the suicides of Anna and Iarbus that follow Dido’s own death.
