How is Hektor different from his mother and father in The Iliad of Homer?

Hektor is presented as more rational and self-controlled than his parents. When Priam and Hecuba plead with him to stay inside Troy, he considers the situation and chooses to face the consequences of his earlier decisions, while their appeals are driven by grief and fear for him. So the best choice is “Hektor is rational; his parents are emotional.”
