and reparative impact on relationships. With reference to ‘The Song of Achilles’ and ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’‚ to what extent do you agree with this view? Introduction here. One could initially argue that Miller utilises the first person narration of Patroclus in The Song of Achilles‚ to create a romanticised narrative of the relationship between him and “god-born […] soft as the delicate of velvet petals […] golden haired” Achilles. This provides for an interesting contrast in the latter half of the

on the text‚ I find it undeniable that Achilles’ treatment of Hector’s body was despicable. But the argument can be furthered with the question of Achilles’ role in the story. Was Achilles a knight at all? Or was he simply a killer with an army? If Achilles can only be considered a knight technically‚ then can his actions really be measured by something he isn’t truly? If it is assumed Achilles was a "knight" the argument will go one way. But if Achilles is viewed as a killer‚ all assumptions

epic poem The Iliad it is Achilles who tends to get the glory‚ and fame as the Hero in the story. I disagree. I do not argue that that Achilles did not have many heroic qualities‚ because he did. However I do not believe he had more heroic qualities or was greater than Priams’ son‚ Hector.
