my class just finished the book today! i loved it! Achilles wants to stay out of the troyan war bc Agammenon disgraced him by taking a girl ( Briseis) he had rightfully won for himself after looting a city. Achilles loved Briseis and Agammenon took her, so hes hurt. Hes attempting to stay out of the battle by beign in his tent which is near the battle field and refusing the pleas of the other soldiers to fight.
