Unbarring Love

During the fall of Troy, the Trojans were attacked by soldiers that came out of the wooden horse. Most of them were drunk so the Greeks easily defeated them. On that part of the story Aeneas prepares to fight the Greeks because they were out powered and about to lose at that time. Meanwhile, his wife Creusa disagrees with his decision to fight. His wife begs him to consider her and his son Ascanius first. This part of the story is somewhat similar with one of the scene in the story of Illiad. It was when Andromache pleased hector to fight with Achilles. I read that Hector killed Achilles’ best friend who was Patroclus. Hector wasn't pleased by Andromache and he fought with Achilles, man to man until he was killed

The two scenes are common. First of all because of the characters they were both couples. It also shows an unpredictable love of a wife for her husband. Creusa and Andromache both stopped their husbands from entering a dangerous situation. The two of them showed much love and affection for the one that they love. Unfortunately, the affection that they showed were not enough to make things alright.

The scene might seem the same but there are still differences. One of those were the reason and purposes of Aeneas and Hector. Another is that Creusa was able to pursue her husband but Andromache wasn’t. There are more differences. But like what I have said a billion times ago Aeneid is a good story and this scene added more and I also think the scene form Iliad also acted like that.
