Tone Of Daedalus

In Daedalus, the author promotes the tone of sympathy. Earlier in the story, the tone is shown by the description of the hatred Daedalus has for his nephew Talus. Daedalus kills him in a sudden outburst, he instantly regrets it and shows that Daedalus isn’t all that bad. This is Irony because He hated Talus but hated himself for killing him. The author states: “Talus will soon surpass me! ...Daedalus pushed Talus to his death… the next instant, horrified at what he had done…’’ As the story continues, the author has sympathy because Daedalus has to flee Athens miserably. “If daedalus wished to save his own life, he must flee. So he left Athens and wandered from place to place...” Later in the story, the author states: “Daedalus was less than
pleased, for he felt no better than a prisoner in crete. In the end, the author shows sympathy through Daedalus figuring out how to fly and escape king minos. He tries to bring his son, but he does not listen and dies, Daedalus goes on a rampage.
