Aristotle interpretation of Achilles could be viewed as someone
who you can respect and love as a warrior by being strong,
brave, fearless, loyal and a great warrior by standing alongside
others in battle to protect and fight for what he believes. On the
other hand, Achilles could be someone totally different when he
is angry. He can be someone you could despise base on some of
his action that took place during his time. The way he killed

Achilles was a cruel man in this example he wasn’t Godly in

believe Patroclus would have been killed or targeted. Hector
expected Achilles to be behind that armor not Patroclus.
Achilles refused to go to war or battle alongside his
friend/cousin because he was disrespected or dishonor by the
king Agamemnon. Agamemnon took Achilles sex slave by name
of Briseis from him that upset Achilles. Achilles refused to
continue to fight for king Agamemnon. Achilles felt he was to
blame for Patroclus death because he wasn’t there to protect
him. Achilles was willing to risk his friend life as well as the
other soldiers who fought alongside of him in battle to seek
revenge against king Agamemnon. Achilles refused to listen to
his mother Thetis about seeking revenge on Hector. The mother
knew that death would come to Achilles her son and Achilles
was willing to take that chance to kill Hector. Achilles the
warrior in this case was a warrior who couldn’t be control by
anyone not even his mother and a warrior I believe only thought
about himself and not the people who fought alongside him in
