His paper is titled “Virgil: A Second Laocoön” and examines the language that Virgil employs to describe Aeneas and his comrades and, by extension, Augustus, the emperor of Rome in the time period Virgil was writing. Park is the third Lawrentian to present at this prestigious conference in the past three years. “It is the kind of work that has the potential to continue expanding in new and surprising directions,” said language teacher Scott Barnard, “and I’ll be curious to see his vision for what the next iteration might be.”
