b'The psychology of anger: its expressive drive.\\xa0 Anger acknowledges that it is self-defeating, and wants that acknowledgment to be expressive.\\xa0 "The fact that I am angry, when I know that self-restraint and not anger will command the respect I am justly owed, shows how angry I am at the injustice of the disrespect my anger aggravates."\\xa0 Anger as a social mode, a communicative relationship between people: so Homer always represents it as occurring within societies: Achaian, Trojan, Olympian.\\xa0 So that Achilleus\'s anger at Hektor, his refusal to treat with him, is itself a modality of social interaction, disguised as the rejection of social interaction.\\xa0 Hence the acceptance of Priam\'s supplication, and Blanchot\'s "parole sublime": "Now you and I must remember our supper" (24.601).'
