The fall of Icarus…

After I had read the tales entitle “Daedalus and Icarus”, I felt that Daedalus is a caring father. He shows his affection to his son very clearly through his actions and his words to his son. Some of his actions that prove his loves to his so when he himself test the wings first before he gave the wings to his son. He wanted to make sure that the wing is safe to be used by his son, Icarus. Besides, he makes sure that he will fly close to his son to keep his eyes on his son. In addition, he keeps warned Icarus not to fly near the sun. He cried when his son died. He named the land after Icarus to remind himself with his son and the memories with Icarus will everlasting.
Meanwhile, Icarus from my opinion is disobedient son. He never pays attention to his father’s advice. If he listened to his father’s advice, not to fly near the son, he will not fall. Therefore, I think he downfall is due to his foolishness and disobedient to his father.
I did not felt sympathy with Icarus’ character but I felt that way to Daedalus. He had did his role as a father very well but because of his son’s mistakes not himself, he suffered and solely sad of losing his son.
