Was Aeneas justified in killing Turnus in the Aeneid?
Throughout the Aeneid Aeneas follows the will of the Gods (which is also Fate). Aeneas is fated to kill Turnus, so that the Roman race can establish itself in Italy. It is Aeneas' duty to follow his destiny, since resisting destiny is to resist the will of the gods. Vergil in many ways has ideas which closely anticipate the thinking of the Christians who would arrive a few generations later. The idea of submitting one's personal desires to the will of god is very Christian. (Aeneas does it by leaving Dido, Christ did it in the Garden of Gethsemane).

Why does Hamlet allude to Pyrrhus throughout Act II Scene ii of Hamlet?
He does not allude to Pyrrhus except when reciting a speech from a play he remembered, a play in which Aeneas is describing the fall of Troy to Dido, queen of Carthage. Aeneas talks about how Pyrrhus killed Priam, the Trojan king, and in the course of reciting the speech he mentions Pyrrhus by name four times. The Player then continues the speech and Hamlet never mentions Pyrrhus again. Act II Scene 2 of Hamlet is immensely long, about 600 lines. For Hamlet to allude to Pyrrhus in a short 14-line speech hardly constitutes alluding to him "throughout the scene". As to why Hamlet brings Pyrrhus up at all, Pyrrhus, otherwise known as Neoptolemos, was the son of Achilles who was avenging his father's death at the hands of the Trojans by killing Priam. His situation therefore has some parallels to Hamlet's.
