Does the best hero make a good citizen? I do not believe so. For instance‚ Achilles may be known as the best warrior‚ but his actions don’t reflect any good citizenship. In my opinion‚ Achilles’ actions have been petty and immature. This all starts with Agamemnon taking Briseis and Achilles being mad and removing himself from war until further notice.

poem “ The Unknown Citizen By W H Auden is a poem that pokes fun at the life of a automaton working in a factory. Reading it in a glance‚ I find the title that catches my very first attention. It is because Auden gives the poem such a title that the whole poem sounds so dramatic and pompous‚ as if it is dedicated to some citizen who have sacrificed so much for the nation. The citizen‚ to my dismay‚ is never named and remains as the unknown one throughout the whole poem. The citizen is referred to JS/07/M/378
