ooh be careful with sparknotes on the essays: often they ask for specifics to see who read the s’notes and who read the actual text.

case in point- they might ask about Allecto’s persuasion of Turnus in book 7, where Sparknotes might just say that she inflamed him, the AP graders are looking for that she turned into an old woman, tried to persuade him, it didn’t work, she became all hideous and stuck a torch in his chest!!!

oh vergil, you brilliant brilliant poet…
