There's no point in trying to talk to these people.

Angry analytic philosopher reporting in

basically this

You could do Paris. He realises that his actions have brought the city he loves to ruin, but he still can't quite let go of Helen. Moreover, you could talk about the divine influence which keeps him in this struggle (e.g. Aphrodite pulling him out of battle when he's wounded).

That kind of sums up the Iliad, insofar as there's an internal conflict for a very human reason, yet we all know there's only one direction events can really go in, and that's left to the Gods. To back that up, you might want to use the early books of the Aeneid, where Aeneas is shown all of Troy's true fate - it's not being burnt by Greeks, but destroyed by the hands of the Immortals.

Ignore the fags who aren't up to the challenge of helping you. All you have to do is promise you'd do something in return for a /lit/ brother if you get the chance.

in before continental "philosophy"
