Aeneas/Creusa vs. Hector/Andromache

      

     In the story of Aeneid by Virgil, one of the most famous part was about Aeneas and his wife Creusa. Creusa begs to Aeneas to stay because she is worrying to their son. Creusa is really a good mother because she is worrying to her husband and to her son. She begs Aeneas to stay by her side and her sons side because she believes that it is better if Aeneas will just stay with them rather than sacrificing his life in the war.

     On the other hand, there was the same scene between Hector and Andromache. She pleads to Hector to stay by her side with her and with their son as well. The only difference of their story to Aeneas' was that, Andromache figured out what will happen to her husband so she immediately stopped him but her husband did not listen so he died in the end.

   
     After reading the story, I realized how painful it is to a woman, being left away by their husbands who are warriors because they can't tell whether if their beloved will still go home safe and alive. Another, I learned how a woman, loves their partner and how they care about their health and safety.
