		Neoptolemus comes of age through his relationship with Philoctetes, and this was not as evident in Aquila's production as I would have liked.
		However, playing Neoptolemus as young and Philoctetes as weak did work well at the end of the play, allowing the audience to accept that this boy and the servile, pathetic Philoctetes could believe in miracles and would passionately attach themselves to salvation from a God.

		Neoptolemus’ moral ambiguity is resolved quite easily, since he can revoke his prior acts and return Heracles’ bow to its proper inheritor.
