Document Summary
Introduction: after the death of his friend, achilles can no longer contain his emotions. He collapsed and is mourning: trojans are enhanced, given divine strength, ultimately, troy will fall and hektor will be slayed. The shield of achilles: on the shield, we see these cosmic elements and a depiction of a peaceful world, the world in the shield is not the one everyone is ghting for, its just another version. No one can go against achilles, he is too powerful and angry now: achilles kills 14 named characters and many other unnamed. The beautiful death: hektor stands at the gates of the city and is the only one protecting it, inside the city, now. His family and friends beg him not to go out and face achilles: hektor says no to his mother and father and wants to protect the city and face.
