In these lines, Aeneas has just finished watching Priam being murdered. He is examining the destruction around the castle when he sees Helen over by the hearth. A rage flares up inside of him, because she is the woman that can somewhat be blamed for the recent wars. He wants to take out his rage on her, and kill her to in a way, avenge all of the devastation, and when the lines end, he is on his way over to her.
