Special Sympathy

It is hard to imagine that the fall of Troy was just because of an apple. It may sound simple but there’s a deeper story behind all of that. A simple happening that caused wrath from a goddess. I will not state the whole story anymore, I’ll jump to the part where it will happen. In the part where the soldiers came out of the wooden horse to attack the Trojans I felt pity for them.

While reading, I imagined the scene. Thinking that many soldiers, women and children will be attacked unprepared the scene looks horrible. I pity them more because they thought that the wooden horse was a gift but instead they were betrayed. I think almost everyone hates that feeling. So for short I really hated the Greeks for doing that, but what can I do they have their own reasons and purposes.

Even though I know that Aeneas will be able to find a new city my feeling towards that part of the story didn’t changed. It changed when I realized that if Troy will not be defeated there will be no story for the Aeneid. Still, I felt pity for the Trojans because of what they suffered. Even they found a new land many of them had shed blood. For short I really felt sympathy for the Trojans.
