It examines how Miller reinterprets the classical relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, highlighting issues of homophobia, homoerotic desire, and societal pressures in both ancient and modern contexts. The analysis also delves into Patroclus' portrayal and its implications on gender roles and misogyny, providing a nuanced critique of social constructs and the enduring quest for acceptance and understanding.
