He doesn't even really feel cowardice or fear - he is so unbelievably focused on his own selfish desires.]]> 2017-12-04 19:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/hfleming1/bdt6kutr2mb2/wish/213045063 https://padlet.com/hfleming1/bdt6kutr2mb2/wish/213045089 Menelaus feels cheated.

Afterwards though, Paris seems to be feeling confident in himself, especially because he has Aphrodite on his side. He does not need to worry about the outcome of the duel, because selfishly, his life is spared above all.]]> 2017-12-04 19:40:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hfleming1/bdt6kutr2mb2/wish/213045285 https://padlet.com/hfleming1/bdt6kutr2mb2/wish/213045399 Paris is scared to fight Menelaus, and behaves selfishly as he only wants Helen, acting like a coward as he avoids the fight.

She dreads his father and does not feel at home in Troy. Even when her husband and Paris duel for her honor, she seems stoic. She tries to manage her new life by weaving and reminiscing about her life in Greece, feeling melancholic and nostalgic.

Before the battle, he says to Paris, “You bad-luck charm! Paris... [you] should have had no seed and died unmarried... Better than living this way in dishonor, in everyone’s contempt.” (68-69).

When we blame a single group or an individual for our problems, we feel as if there is a truer, more concrete reason for our suffering. Human beings tend to categorize other people, so negative emotions can be amplified towards groups of people. To avoid the blame for a problem, people tend to subject it on others, demonstrating the selfish nature of human beings.]]> 2017-12-05 19:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hfleming1/bdt6kutr2mb2/wish/213467846 https://padlet.com/hfleming1/bdt6kutr2mb2/wish/213471349 Muslims and/or immigrants are taking a lot of blame from Americans for a lot of our own problems. For example, after 9/11 there was a lot of hate and racism towards the Muslim community therefore people's perception of Muslim completely changed to relate Muslims to terrorism.
