Two Women: One Heart

Two Women: One Heart

          How would you feel if the person you love the most is leaving – and might never come back? Of course you would try to make them stay. And that’s what Creusa and Andromache did. They are two different women but they have the same heart of a loving wife.

          When Hector was about to go to war, Andromache begged him to stay. She pleaded him to stay with her and their son. But Hector knows that his country needs him so he broke his wife’s heart by leaving her in safety while he put his own self in the war zone.

          The same thing happened to Creusa and Aeneas. When Aeneas was about to go to the battle, Creusa beseeched him to stay with her and Ascanius. But Aeneas loves his homeland as much as he loves his family. He figured out that if he can save his country, he can save his family. So he left, thinking that what he is doing is for both his family and his country.

          Two great leaders- with their wives and sons. They chose to go to war to save their family and their country. They are both patriotic to their nation and their family.

          Two women who has sons. Their husbands are going to war for their nation. They know that when they leave – they may not be coming back. They try to stop them but they failed. All was left for them was hope – hope that Aeneas and Hector will come back.
