I think Achilles is weak. The reason for this thought is that he sends his best friend Patroclus into battle instead of himself. It shows that he is a coward, a big enough one that he puts his closest friend's life on the line by sending him into battle instead of himself. Even though he is giving Patroclus his armor he is still relying on someone else.
Another piece of evidence I found was that to have vengeance for Patroclus, Achilles drags Hector behind his chariot where ever he goes. Obviously Achilles is mad at Hector for killing his friend patroclus, but if Achilles didn't want Patroclus dead he wouldn't have sent him out into battle like he did. A good, fair warrior wouldn't have done that much to his enemy.
