How did everyone find Classical Civilisation Paper 1

I keep seeing everyone say that the Aeneid 30 marker was great but I found it so horrible.
Im starting doubt my answer as everyone seems to have argued that that the epic does revolve around women but I said that fate and Augustus are more prominent. I completely panicked and blanked in the exam

I think I kinda did it wrong as well... I didn't argue anything other than women I just weighed up how important each woman was and didn't offer a proper counter argument

i said that of course women contribute to the story but the story doesnt revolve around them. Their actions seem to always effect Aeneas either positively or negatively
