Achilles glared at him and answered, “Fool, prate not to me about covenants. There can be no covenants between men and lions, wolves and lambs can never be of one mind, but hate each other out and out an through. Therefore there can be no understanding between you and me, nor may there be any covenants between us, till one or other shall fall and glut grim Ares with his life’s blood. Be mindful of all your excellence; you have need now to prove yourself indeed a bold warrior and fighter. You have no more chance, and Pallas Athena will forthwith vanquish you by my spear: you shall now pay me in full for the grief you have caused me on account of my comrades whom you have killed in battle.”

It would be interesting that if someone ever rewrote the sequel Trilogy, for episode VIII focus on the dynamic between kylo and Finn and Rey's internal struggle with her own dark side

You don’t know a thing about me. Where I’m from. What I’ve seen. You don’t know the First Order like I do. […] I’m a stormtrooper. Like all of them, I was taken from a family I’ll never know. And raised to do one thing.

An instinct, a feeling.
