Society failed In the 3 pieces about Daedalus and Icarus that we reviewed in class, it showed us how we failed as humans. All of the pieces described how no one cared about Icarus and when he fell. We as humans, are supposed to care for one another because that is how we were taught. However, the people who saw Icarus falling did not care nor check if he was okay when he landed in the ocean. Daedalus just wanted to save his son and himself from prison by building themselves wings so they could fry away. Thus, Icarus having not listened to his father made him fall to his death while people watched and no one cared. In the first piece Daedalus and Icarus , the piece tells about how his Daedalus and his son Icarus were imprisoned by the King.
