	Briseis
		Briseis' proclamation that Achilles is like a "master, husband, and brother" serves to show how alone she is. She has seen her world destroyed, she is in a new land, with new people, and with a new status.
		Harold Isbell states: "the overriding emotion in Briseis is not jealousy of the woman given to Achilles as wife or of the captive girls given as concubines, nor is it anger that she has been replaced by these others.
		Briseis has seen her world of comfort and security destroyed, and she now fears that something of the sort might happen again.
