Long Answer

1. The narration style is first-person, from the perspective of Patroclus. Although Patroclus dies in Chapter 30, he continues to provide narration through his subconscious until he receives a proper burial and his soul can join Achilles in the afterlife. (Various chapters)

2. Patroclus usually observes Achilles’s feet, particularly his heels. This could allude to the phrase “Achilles’s heel,” used in everyday speech to mean a person’s weakness. Miller’s inclusion of this visual throughout the novel signifies that Patroclus is the person who Achilles is weak and vulnerable with (i.e. Patroclus is Achilles’s “Achilles’ heel”).
