Question

How could he so ruthless……. I just dont understand

Answer 1

Dido is Queen of Carthage and will eventually become Rome's greatest enemy. Aeneid is reminded by Jupiter that he should travel on to Italy. He realizes his destiny and the way the gods use him and he departs from Dido. She commits suicide from both the heart break and the realization that she had broken her vows of fidelity.
