1. Analyze the character of Achilles as shown in Books 9-11. Are his decisions appropriate for a king like him? Why/ why not? What kind of warrior is he?
For me, it is proper that he declined the offer of Agammenmon which is said by Odysseus. We can think that it isn't right but actually it is a bribe for they wanted Achilles back in Agammenmon's army.
It is already in the latter part when Achilles did very inappropriate. He is very arrogant for he thinks that people should thank him for every good did that he made. I know that it isn't a big gratitude. But being well known and remembering his name for a deed he makes.
He is very impossible, he wants something that is very impossible just for him to go back to battle. He wants Thousands, Millions of Gold greater than that of Thebes offer and more than what Agamemnon offers.
It isn't a honor for him that he should fight, it is for the people that in the war.
