Answer:
Explanation: Personally, I'm more inclined to feel for characters based on historical figures than mythological characters. i.e. I know both are made-up people/stories but for some reason, I cry reading about the despair of Sydney Carton and can read through the destruction of Troy with very little emotion. There is just something about mythological figures that makes you think you are simply supposed to learn from them, but there is something about someone put in a more historical context that I can sympathize with and cry over that makes me feel awful for them even when their circumstances aren't half as bad as aforementioned the mythological character watching their city burn and all their friends dying before their eyes (Aeneas).
