Quote #10
Stand, stand, thou Greek; thou art a goodly mark: No? wilt thou not? I like thy armour well; I'll frush it and unlock the rivets all, But I'll be master of it: wilt thou not, beast, abide? Why, then fly on, I'll hunt thee for thy hide. (5.6.27-31)
Here, Hector reduces the war to a brawl between animals, although unintentionally. When he chases a soldier who tries to run away from him, he says he'll "hunt" the guy like an animal, as if killing another soldier is some kind of sport. This idea of war as a game is reinforced by the fact that Hector initially wants to kill the soldier so he can take his "armour" as a trophy.
