3. Who do you think is the most interesting character of the story? Tell something
about him or her.
“I think it would be Achilles and Hector. Achilles as the better hero
and Hector as the better man. Achilles as what classical heroes do, he meant
it to do. He fighter who fights for a pure glory and not with an outright
greed. He is the one everyone remembers while Hector motives are also well-
intentioned and He’s greatly defending his home from invaders and would
prefer not to fight at all, not because he’s a coward or without skill, but
because he understands the futility of the war. He does not love war the way
Achilles does but still this two-character interest me the most because they
have the true quality of being a leader.”
4. Who do you think is the least interesting character of the story? Tell something
about him or her.
“I think Paris the brother of Hector would be the least interesting
character in the story. He kidnaps a woman, Helen, who’s happily married to
the king of Sparta and this sparked the Trojan War. He is self-centered and
often unmanly. He fights effectively with a bow and arrow but never with the
manlier sword or spear and he often lacks with the spirit for battle and
prefers to sit in his room making love to Helen while others fight for him.”
