Caring Love

    When the Troy fell, Trojans were attacked by soldiers that came out of the wooden horse.  The Greeks easily defeated them. Aeneas prepared to fight the Greeks because they were about to lose at that time. His wife Creusa disagrees with his decision to fight. His wife beg him to not go and don’t live her and their son Ascanius. This part of the story is somewhat similar with one of the scene in the story of Illiad. When Hector is about to fight with Achilles, Andromache pleased him. Hector wasn't pleased by Andromache and he fought with Achilles until he was killed.

    Having two wives pleasing their husbands, the two stories are similar. Both showed how someone cares for the ones she love and what can she do just to please that person. Unfortunately, what they showed did not do anything.

    There are lots of similarities between the two but there are still some differences just like how Hector and Aeneas ended up from the bottle. Eventhough both of them continued to fight, still Hector was killed and Aeneas was able to survived. With differences and similiraties, both of them are really good stories.

Aeneid: Ultimate Defeat and Terrible Loss

    If we’re going to describe the  meaning of “Ultimate Defeat and Terrible Loss”, it means there are battles between and we all know that in every battle there are lots of things that we will sacrifice and we will loss. The story of Aeneid showed a lot of this. We can see a great battles and deaths in the story and ideas about being defeated.

   There are lot of scenes showing this “Ultimate Defeat and Terrible Loss”.  In terms of loss the one that anyone can think is the fall of Troy losing the land of the Trojans. It also showed an ultimate defeat because the Greeks defeated them violently. The loss of Aeneas love ones also showed the details and when Turnus was defeated by Aeneas. Other scenes also showed this but it is too long to enumerate.

   This story is really adventurous because in every journey there’s a battle. There will be a loss and someone will be defeated just like how an “Ultimate Defeat and Terrible Loss” means.

A Sympathy

     The fall of Troy through an apple sounds simple but there’s a deeper story behind that fall. A simple thing that caused a goddess to burst for revenge. A sympathy was felt for the soldiers from the wooden horse to fight with the Trojans.  How they stayed to that crowded and warm place just to attack the innocent people outside  I really pity both of them.

      I imagined the scene where the innocent people especially the children will be attacked with the armed force of the Greeks. It is really horrible and death will be the sure thought. Innocently thinking of a special gift through that wooden horse yet became the most horrible gift ever. Greeks are really ridiculous for doing that but we know that they have that specific purpose.

      Eventhough they found a new city for them that scene is still horrible Many people sacrificed their lives for the other Trojans. I felt a sympathy for the Trojans.
