What is the difference between Tityrus and Meliboeus’s character trait in Virgil – Eclogue I? How can we have related this character trait in modern-day?

In my point of view, Tityrus and Meliboeus have very different character trait. For instance, Tityrus is simple, contented and stubborn; whereas Meliboeus is eager, driven and realistic. As we can see from the book that Tityrus is willing to stay at his land and grateful for what he has ever since he is a little kid. He thinks that being a shepherd is god’s will which it shows his stubbornness; According to the book, Tityrus said ‘… there was never a hope of freedom …’ he thinks that there’s no hope for him to escape, Hence, it is better to be grateful than complaining. In contrast, Meliboeus have been trying to convince Tityrus to leave the land and go find a new land for them. He thinks that Tityrus has been missing out all other great lands, such as the sacred springs, willow blossoms … Also, he believes that sooner or later the war will destroy everything Tityrus has now. Hence, Meliboeus is a man who speaks his mind and he is very realistic. This is very similar as the characteristic in modern-day, there are people who are not willing to change, and they are comfortable of where they are. Hence, he is grateful of what he has and set in his way. Whereas people like Meliboeus in modern-day are mostly entrepreneur and they’re eager to learn more, and not willing to settle down for less. Also, they’re realistic when facing problems.
