blog 4.3

 If I put myself on Andromache and Creusa’s shoes, I know I would do the same thing. I always want my love ones to be with me. I don’t want to be alone, to be left. I would even beg for them so that they won’t leave me. I just want them to be safe and to be with me. I am showing my love and how much I care for them. Just like Andromache when she pleads to Hector and Creusa to Aeneas. They’ve shown that they don’t want them to be hurt and the love they have for their husband. Unlike Creusa, Andromache wasn’t able to beg her husband. This part shows the differences between Creusa and Andromache and also Aeneas and Hector.

There will be a time that each and every one of us would seek for someone for a true love --- love for another person.
We don't want want to get hurt by the people we love,so we trust them. But it is not easy to accept when a certain situation is to be happening. Like when your partner in life needs to go away from you for a certain reason which he or she doesn't like, or simply forced to.
Well, it is like the story of Andromache and Creusa, pleading their own husbands to stay home to be safe for not them to go to the war and die. But their endings are different, Andromache wasn't killed but Creusa was killed. This is a strong proof that they love their husbands so much, pleading or pleasing them to stay home.

blog 4,1

It is an agony to oneself to see his/her mother land fall into pieces and you can't do anything to save it. It is hard to think that your home would be just embedded to your memories and will be soon forgotten. Just thinking of this can turn me into a crazy person, i think many of us would be, but Aeneas will surely be not .

Aeneas faced the fall of Troy bravely. He suffered a great loss but he learned to let go of it and moved on to his life, I admired him for this. He did not become emotional like anybody would be. From all of the things that happened to Troy, I was so depressed. I felt sympathy to them. Why? It's because it was unfair for the people of Troy. They don't even know that this was part of the plan of the Greeks. They were not ready for it. The city was in chaos. Aeneas luckily escaped from the Greeks but ironically, he was unlucky for the place where he live for such a long time was ruined.
