Document Summary

In these final books of the iliad, i tried to focus on the characters of hector and. Achilles and really develop my thoughts about their personalities, relationship, similarities and differences. I found it extremely interesting to do this, although i"m not sure that i"ve come to any definite conclusions with my thoughts yet. Their characters are both deeply flawed, and they often seem quite different from each other. However, at other times i found myself almost confused because they would often seem quite similar as well. At first glance, hector and achilles are similar in obvious ways: they are their armies" best warriors, and they both take great pride in defending their names and their causes. When looking into their characters more deeply, it is interesting to note that they are also similar in the way that they both become emotionally overwhelmed at times, leading to rash ruthlessness and insensibility.
