Andromache

The Iliad centers around the use of moira to control the lives of the characters while Genesis relies on God to set things in motion for his plans. Andromache, from the Iliad, and Rebekah, from Genesis, are each used by the larger force at work to express the major themes of each work. Andromache and Rebekah are each used by either God or moira to produce offspring that are predestined for important events that have been predetermined by either God or moira. Each woman also attempts to bend their

actor Hugh Jackman. While certainly not always the case, Hector could benefit greatly from considering this piece of advice. Andromache offers Hector a piece of strategic advice for the war, which he brushes off and response very harshly to. Hector’s response offers a glimpse of a side of Hector that is not previously seen in the book before. Hector’s answer to Andromache is a grim and dismal outlook of what Hector sees for the future. The advice she offers to Hector is to take the army and fight

Helpless Mothers: Ceres and Andromache One of the inherent problems that is prominently on display in both the Iliad and in Ceres and Proserpina is the role of women in Greek and Roman mythology. "To read the history of Ancient Greece as it has been written for centuries is to enter a thoroughly male world" (Blundell, 226). When it comes to a poem like the Iliad, this is even more particularly true as the reader enters a universe of war, where women are very much on the peripheral and the men

Ancient characters in the Iliad, Hecuba and Andromache, are stylized as modern, early feminists in The Mediterranean Chronicles. However, even on a global scale Hecuba’s feministic strength, character, and willpower is clearly illustrated in the Iliad, film version of The Trojan Women, and Jean Giraudoux’s translated play Tiger at the Gates. Andromache, in her own way, also emblems feminism in these same works through various way, such as her strength and intelligence in the face of war and her lament

A Comparison of the Relationship between Paris and Helen and the Relationship between Hector and Andromache The relationship between Paris and Helen differs greatly from the relationship between Hector and Andromache. These differences are most evident in books three and six. A major difference between the two relationships is whether or not an outside force is pushing the relationship. In book three lines 486 to 489, Aphrodite forces Helen to go back to the bedroom with Paris. Initially, Helen

Divine command shapes and influences every event In Homer’s The Iliad and The Book of Genesis, from birth to death. Divine forces determine if Andromache and Rebekah’s actions can be successful or not. In The Iliad, moira determines everything and guides everyone; whereas in the book of Genesis, God’s will determines what will be done and influences people to act. It is moira that causes people to suffer death and destruction, as moira is one’s fate, or the amount of life they are given on Earth

expression of a speaker’s personal feelings and attachment. When Hektor dies, however, Andromache delivers lamentations that deviate from the trend of other lamentations in the Iliad. Andromache’s lamentations are future-oriented instead of being rooted in the past, and deliver narratives about the future of Hektor’s family and the Trojans rather than displaying words of effusive emotion. Moreover, Andromache employs antithesis, a technique that makes her lamentations more complicated and meaningful

accepted societal values in a woman through their duties as wives, which typically consists of obedience and the ability to sustain their husband’s lineage. Rebekah and Andromache both assume their roles as wives, but sometimes act in ways outside of what was considered normal in their society. Though both Rebekah and Andromache maintain the classic role of a wife, they occasionally contradict the expectations of how a woman should behave by making decisions traditionally made by men.

the main themes of the poem are altogether. Baudelare starts the poem with a shout of ‘Andromaque, je pense à vous!’ (l.1). Andromache was the widow of ancient Troy’s great warrior, Hector. When Andromache’s husband Hector was slain, the Greek warriors went on to defeat the Trojans and burn Troy. Andromache heavily mourned the loss of her city and her husband. ‘Andromache serves as the
