    Odyssey‚ I felt like they left us hanging. So we finally finished the story. In the Iliad‚ there are two types of warriors‚ Hector‚ and Achilles. I think Hector is more essential than Achilles. Hector is more essential because he is the son of King Priam and the Queen Hecuba. He is also the most essential soldier in the Trojan Army. He lets his soldiers know that “he is there for them”. He fights hard‚ he is strong‚ and he is very caring. Achilles on the other hand is least essential compared to Hector

    The concept of the hero is as old as myth itself. Throughout history both concepts have evolved together. Myths tell tales of the adventures of man‚ frequently the son of a god or goddess and a human‚ who is endowed with great promise and destined to perform great feats. Often these feats involve acts of rescue‚ war or protection. This heroic myth is rooted in the ideal of familial romance. Particularly during adolescence it sustains and expresses the identification of the ego with idealized

    Polonius sets a certain tone towards the entirety of the play. Time and time again he gives the old “when I was your age speech” and assumes the role of a parent to everyone‚ giving his unwanted and disregarded opinion. When a player about the death of Priam makes a deep and eloquent speech‚ Polonius interrupts by simply saying‚ “This is too long.” This being said was entirely ironic because of the long and seemingly pointless speeches that Polonius dishes out to anyone able to hear. Shakespeare’s use

    existential trust. This transition is essentially portrayed in the allusion to the story of the Helen of Troy‚ recited by Hamlet himself in Act 2 Scene 2 where Pyrrhus‚ a son who vows to avenge his dead father‚ seeks revenge on his murderer‚ Priam. Pyrrhus goes on to slay Priam‚ but before doing so‚ “like a neutral to his will and matter [does] nothing”. However after this pause‚ he is able to follow through with his mission. Pyrrhus hence portrays a true warrior. Similarly‚ we see in Act 3 scene 3‚ Hamlet

Like Achilles‚ Hektor is from a royal family. Hektor’s father is King Priam of Troy‚ which makes Hektor a prince (World Masterpieces 332-333). However‚ he is not descended from the gods. Bespaloff explains‚ “Neither superman‚ nor demigod‚ nor godlike‚ he is a man‚ and among men a prince” (127). Therefore‚ both warriors have
