The Iliad Endings

The Iliad book 24 resolves many issues seen in book 1. Firstly, we no longer see the enraged Achilles, but instead see a nice, and quite hospitable Achilles. Also, we see no anger toward Agamemnon from Achilles as resolved in an earlier book, whereas in book one, we see them quarrel quite a bit. Book 24 seems to completely resolve not only issues from Achilles, but also Achilles himself. Achilles, although he has been through a lot, and his death is drawing near, he is able to find this kind of peace with the "enemy" king Priam, and is contented with giving the body of Hector back. Also, Achilles, rather than letting his anger surge through him and his action, seems to be trying to prevent it, and show Priam hospitality. Also, for a moment, Achilles, the fatherless son, and Priam, the son less father, actually embrace each other as father and son. This shows Achilles' rage almost completely gone, and he is ready to live again. All thogether, this one book resolves not only problems in book 1, but also throughout the story, and resolves Achilles himself.
