I agree with Raycens statement because Hector's son may realize what his fathers worth was dieing in the battle field. His true compassion and why he decided to fight.

# data[].attributes.body
Hector wants his son to be better then him and wishes for him to do as he did and fight for what he believes in.

# data[].attributes.body
Responding to Rayah's question I think that Hector knows he is doomed yet he is still going into battle almost abandoning his dad. He wants his son to be better than him and be able to save his family from the same battle Hector thinks he will one day be fighting.

# data[].attributes.body
he wants his son to be a good man.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Will because How would he go to war knowing that he might die and make his wife a widow, and send her to a slave house. he must feel lots of guilt?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with mason again, Hector knew that he would be better out in battle rather than staying home and knowing the outcome and not being able to do anything about it I think that would have killed him as a person because he knew he could have done something.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Hector is not selfish. I think he wants to fight in the war out of love for his people, where he comes from, and what his name represents.

# data[].attributes.body
Taking into the factors of what they claimed as true happiness, part of it was dying in glory or fame. Does that mean most woman would be deemed as unhappy

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with mason when she said that she was trying to shame him for the wrong reason yeah he was leaving her to fight but he was doing it for them, he wasn't doing anything shameful he was doing something noble and heroic

# data[].attributes.body
Hector knew he was most likely going to die but he thought that even if he died and left his wife and son he would hopefully make their lives safer.

# data[].attributes.body
i dont think war brought anyone happiness and at the end of the day death isn't something people are usually excited by

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Mason. I really never thought of this and I should have, but Hector is fighting for his family and city safety. If they didn't go to battle to try and defeat Achilles, they may have came to there city and killed each and everyone of their families.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with Mason saying that Hector is going to war to save them because he says to his wife that he knows she will be carried away as a slave to Greece and this is where I can't figure out what kind of person Hector is.

# data[].attributes.body
Responding to raycens question, he is fighting not just for his people but his family and she needs to Have that outlook on him going to war

# data[].attributes.body
brayden did make a good point i would do the same

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with brayden

# data[].attributes.body
he knew his courage would be his death but he also knew it was necessary.

# data[].attributes.body
If I were hector, I would follow my gut.

# data[].attributes.body
If he wasn't a leader, he should have made sure his son grew up to be a good man

# data[].attributes.body
I wouldn't say hes putting his country before his family, his family is apart of that country

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with brooke because the warriors in the end will all want to be known for being great at the end of the war or dieing after

# data[].attributes.body
The wife is almost implying he is selfish for leaving but in the end, they are his motivation to keep striving, he wants his son to be better than him, he wants to keep his father's people safe, and he doesn't want to see his wife enslaved. Yes, she has the right to want him to stay but that's not who Hector is.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Riley. I think a main factor in Hector's decision was because he thought he would be known as a coward. Bailing on his troops and giving them the bird as he left. But his love for his empire and the people he didn't want to let down, he chose to go to battle and fight side by side with them.

# data[].attributes.body
Being selfish can lead you to a long life but as a warrior he isn't chasing that

# data[].attributes.body
hector doesn't fear death per say he fears leaving his family, but he has the courage to face death to protect his family.

# data[].attributes.body
he didn't want to die a coward he wanted to die fighting for what he believes in.

# data[].attributes.body
i think he knew that day was coming and he would rather die then watch his people fall

# data[].attributes.body
Riley said that Hector doesn't fear death and I somewhat disagree with this, but just Hector having enough vision to know what will happen and know what he wants to be seen as shows how much courage he has.

# data[].attributes.body
Hector wanted to me remembered as a hero instead of a coward

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with mason because he wants to fight but after will be known as the greatest trojan while his wife is enslaved she might have a higher status

# data[].attributes.body
He wants to be satisfied with fighting other than cowering out.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that anyone would have second thoughts about going to fight in war and leave your wife and son behind would be difficult

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with rayah on the fact that he is going to battle to fight for and protect his wife and boy, but he wants nothing more that for his son to be better than him. I just dont know why he would rather go to war than see his child grow up

# data[].attributes.body
i don't think hector doesnt fear death, i think he doesnt fear the name of a great fighter

# data[].attributes.body
Going back to the fact of dying in glory I feel like the wife should have taken into consideration the type of person Hector is before building a life with him.

# data[].attributes.body
he was fighting for a chance to protect his wife and kid even though he knew he wouldn't be able to stop it from happening

# data[].attributes.body
hector would never abandon his men

# data[].attributes.body
Hector is fighting for his wife and his son, he doesn't want to die in war but if he has to keep them safe he will.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Andromache had a reason to say something but not a reason to make the decision. As a father and having a young boy, that boy will look up to you as a god. You are his roll model and not being in his life may affect the way the boy makes his decisions. Although his disappearance from home would make a difference, leaving his troops behind really leaves a message and is a bad look for him and his troops and empire may despise him for his actions.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Mason. He wants to fight for her safety and the life she will live when he is gone.

# data[].attributes.body
With an enemy you know you will lose to, being selfish isn't always the wrong answer

# data[].attributes.body
it makes sense he didnt wanyt to fight but he very much needs to go because in the end they will be killed but will also be known after death as the greatest trojan

# data[].attributes.body
she is always on his mind but he has to keep fighting

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with mason, I personally wouldn't want my wife to be a symbol of me and I would want to protect her as much as I can before I go

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with julia because when she was talking about how that if one man stayed with his family instead of fight but made all his men go fight, it just wouldn't be fair

# data[].attributes.body
Mason brought up a quote and talking about Hector telling his wife she will be a slave. He could either die and try to prevent it or not see her become a slave and I think that this is a good way of looking at it that I hadn't thought of.

# data[].attributes.body
There is not only his son to think about but theirs other families with their own children hes leading too.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that even though Andromache was justified in what she asked I understand why Hector didn't stay.

# data[].attributes.body
it is not surprising that she didn't want him to go but is he didnt go then no one else would want to go because he is the leader

# data[].attributes.body
Julia has a point with the fact that he has a duty to his people and his soldiers

who are also begging them to stay as well

# data[].attributes.body
Julia contradicts what Sydney and Julian said by saying that he has to show up to battle for his men because they all look up to them. He can't just leave battle because of his personal life.

# data[].attributes.body
he was still going to go fight even though he knew he would probably die. he wouldn't abandon his men

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Julian because he has a family then he wants to be there for but also is one of the best fighters and everyone thats out there in battle looks up to him.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is valid for her to ask for him to stay because of there family but I also think she should have a view on his wishes to battle for his people and that he has a job to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it could go both ways, The father is not only a leader of his own son and family but he has other people to subject himself to.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with rayah as well, he should understand the point she is coming from and how she only wants him to be there so their family isn't torn

# data[].attributes.body
Hector should go to battle and fight with his men and be honorable, but she does have a right to tell him that he should not.

# data[].attributes.body
Julian makes a good point saying that she has a reason to stay because they have a son and she is worried about her kid being left an orphan. There's also the other side to that where he needs to fight

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with julian because it is justified for him to stay but also he is a leader of an army and should return to battle

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with juilian, it's fair for her to ask him to not risk his life and stay alive for his son and have a family

# data[].attributes.body
I believe she has the right 100%, but it is up to him to decide.
