Hector's wife Andromache advised him

“Hector, thus it is you are father to me, and my honored mother, you are my brother, and it's you who are my young husband. Please take pity upon me then, stay here on the rampart, that you may not leave your child an orphan, your wife a widow … “

Most of Andromache's story is in the sixth volume of Homer's Iliad. Book 22 mentions Hector's wife, but not her name.

Andromache's husband Hector is one of the main characters of "Iliad", Their marriage is also in stark contrast to the marriage of Paris and Helen, as it is a completely legal and loving relationship.

Andromache begs her man at her gate when it becomes clear that the Greek army has defeated the Trojan horse and Hector must lead the prosecution to repel the Greek army.  Hector explains that he must fight and that death will come for him whenever it is his time. Hector takes his son out of the maid's arm.

This poem is written in heroic couplets – a neoclassical style of poetry – as well as in iambic pentameter. In your opinion, why
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Phillis Wheatley choose to write like this because:

1. Poems written in iambic pentameter expresses decorum and grandeur of the language.

2. Each couplet expresses a complete thought.

3. There is an "explosion" good rhyming couplets bring. It brings both the rhyme and the idea into a quick close in two lines.

Explanation:

Some of the benefits are:

1. This form of writing enabled Wheatley to purposefully advocate her freedom.

2. It was a tool to deliver safely on the subject matter for a slave poet in a dominantly white society.

3. Wheatley utilizes satire to force an acknowledgement of equality in the eyes of God by her keepers.

4. It makes poems and poets become serious and seriously accepted by readers.

The one disadvantage I discovered is that it seems somehow cumbersome to understand by laymen.

‏Think of a famous person who inspires you and answer the :following question ?
blondinia [14]

Robert Hooke has had a great impact in the world of science. His discoveries and even inventions are still used to this day. He's someone that greatly inspires me because of his determination. Something that caught my attention and intrigued me is his studies of the structure of snowflakes and his cork studies. He was also the one that first used the word cell while he studied and looked into corks. If I could meet Robert Hooke, I would say thank you for contributing to science and ask if he ever thought of evolution.
