When the Great Achilles is shot in the heel during the Trojan war, he meets his end. “The story shows us how within each one of us, there is some fatal flaw. Something we are not capable of. Each one of us has this weakness within. This weakness can be the cause of our downfall. This weakness stops us from our happiness. It is for us to find out where our weakness lies and deal with it before that weakness deals with us,” she says.
