Note 103 — NOTE ON SYMBOLS

At the end of the banquet scene (598), ‘Exeunt omnes’ towards the interior of the palace, when ‘Enter Venus at another doore, and takes Ascanius by the sleeue’. She carries him to the grove, and here he presumably remains until the next Act (III), when ‘Enter Iuno to Ascanius asleepe’ (811). He is then removed again, perhaps to make room for the hunting party. I suppose the ‘another doore’ of 598 to mean a stage-door.
