They had been locked in a high tower and were watched whenever they went outside.
Icarus: When can we go home, Father? I want to go home.
Daedalus: So do I, So do I.
Icarus: Look at the birds. They are free. They fly in the sky and come and go as they please. I don't want to stay here.
Daedalus: Neither do I, son. Neither do I.
Icarus: We have to do something but I don't know what.
Daedalus: You've given me an idea. I know what to do. Go outside and collect all the feathers you can find.
Icarus: What is the plan, Father? What are we going to do?
Daedalus: We are going to fly like the birds.

They stuck the feathers together with wax.
Daedalus: Remember what I told you. Don't fly too low. The spray from the sea will make your wings heavy. Don't fly too high. The sun will melt the wax.

They jumped through the window
Icarus: Look at me, Father. Look at me! I'm soaring!
Daedalus: That's too high, Icarus. Come down here with me! The sun will melt the wax and you will fall.
Icarus: What did you say, Father? I can't hear you!
Daedalus: I said come down. You are flying much near to the sun!
Icarus: Father! Father! My wings are melting! Pieces of my wings are falling off! I'm falling! Help! Help!
Daedalus: I'm coming, Icarus! I'll help

    The two stories that are being compared in this essay have very similar situations, relationships, attitudes, status and purpose as they both discuss certain experiences of a teenage boy and his ability not to listen to his father. In the play 'Juice' the relationship between father and son is untrustworthy and sometimes daunting as Rodney experiences a few occasions where his father angers him to the point he feels he has to rebel against his fathers guidance. For example, when Rodney wishes to go to a party to celebrate the end of year 10 but his father refuses to let him go because there was no adult supervising the party. This resulted in Rodney sneaking out without his parents knowledge and going to the party despite his fathers stress on adult supervision. The same circumstances are also shown in the myth 'Daedalus and Icarus' although Daedalus and Icarus seem to have a stronger father-son relationship then Rodney and his father, Craig, in the play. Icarus is prepared to leave his palace to run away with his father showing that he treasures his fathers company and feels protected in his care. Although, Icarus flaw is his failure to listen to his father when he warns Icarus not to fly to close to the sun. This is a literal warning to his son as he has given him wings to fly across the ocean but the wax that holds the wings firmly in place is easily melted. Thus the reason not to fly to close to the sun. But like Rodney in 'Juice' Icarus disobeys his fathers guidance so…
