Mythology
Icarus
|
|
Icarus, a demigod, is a very
stubborn boy. For example, his father, Daedelus, created wings for them to escape
the labyrinth. As soon as Icarus flew off, he thought that he could fly
faster than the birds. This shows that he is obstinate because he should have
known that the first second he started something new he should not expect to
be the best in the world at it. Another example of stubbornness is when his
father told him not to fly to close to the sun, and he did and died. This
also proves that he is intractable because even when his father told him not
to fly to close to the sun, he did not listen and perished because of it. In
conclusion, Icarus was a very foolish boy, and I hope he died with the
knowledge to listen to other people. |
