and reparative impact on relationships. With reference to ‘The Song of Achilles’ and ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’‚ to what extent do you agree with this view? Introduction here. One could initially argue that Miller utilises the first person narration of Patroclus in The Song of Achilles‚ to create a romanticised narrative of the relationship between him and “god-born […] soft as the delicate of velvet petals […] golden haired” Achilles.
