Part II:
Exposition: Mesopotamia, three month’s later.
Cornelia was pregnant; her child was a heavy burden upon her current standing. Walking has become difficult with the added weight. If she were the sacred Princess of Mesopotamia and not the child bride of Brutus the conqueror, then she would have had a litter borne of sweating Trojan slaves to carry her to her palace in comfort. Now she was the litter for Brutus’ unborn son.
Rising Action: Retribution backfires upon Cornelia’s plan.
Throughout the planning, that took a few months, Cornelia welcomed pregnancy with loving hatred, and wished for revenge.Cornelia had revenge that seemed perfect. It backfired. Vengeance had lured Cornelia into the plan of destroying the Trojans. Then, when the plan was following through, Genvissa turned to Brutus and showed him that the game was still alive. Alive and waiting for him.
Climax: Waiting for the right person, the right moment to announce its presence, the game waits.
Ariadne had left the game alive in one city, Mesopotamia. All of the cities were destroyed but that one, insignificant place, of which had made Cornelia’s plan break and crumble away.
Falling Action: Brutus found the game. It was waiting for his attention.
Brutus unraveled the game. The effects causing the whole city to creak and groan with the malevolence that was escaping the tower house. All Dorians, except Cornelia since she was carrying a Trojan child, were trapped with their hired, murderous swords, in the foundings of their city. The Trojans make it safely to the fleet of 100 ships and began to depart.
Resolution: Brutus tells Cornelia that the death of her people is her fault.
If Cornelia didn’t obey what the night goddess (Genvissa) had said, she would still have her father and people to go back to if it was possible. That her revenge plan had created the chain of actions that led to the destruction of Mesopotamia and its people.
