The transactional Nature of Communication displayed in AoM

Hey everyone. Meme man u/Jerarddude here. I recently wrote a discussion in university about interpersonal communication as displayed through the first episode in Fall of the Trident. Seems like it'd be a fun thing to share with you all. Enjoy!

A Debate on Joining the Trojan War

In this scene, Arkantos, admiral of Atlantis, is addressed by Theocrat, a high ranking politician, about joining the Trojan war. This scene happens immediately following Arkantos' return to his home in Atlantis and his reunion with his son, Kastor. He has returned after spending months abroad fighting pirates in his country's name.

The two speakers in this clip are Arkantos and Theocrat and they both act as a source and receiver of the message each of them provides. The channel they use to communicate is a simple face to face conversation, and is thus unhampered by technology. Theocrat starts his message by telling Arkantos, his inferior, that the omens which plague Atlantis are a direct result of the unhappiness of lord Poseidon, the patron god of Atlantis. As a solution to the problem, he presents that Atlantis must help their subjects, the Greeks in their fight against Troy (the same siege depicted in the Iliad). It is here that the first barriers towards communication are presented. Arkantos lashes out in an overly emotional way to Theocrat. His reaction is hampered by the psychological noise of his wandering thoughts and preconceived ideas about the meaning behind Theocrat's message. To put it plain, the presence of his son Kastor in this conversation could be causing his mind to wander. He may be thinking that his people going to war would mean that his precious time with his son will be shortened. His response to Theocrat's solution is two fold. He states that the fighting at Troy is nearly over and it would be a waste of time. Secondly, all Atlantis would do is wave their banner which is a task below his station as admiral. Both of these are good reasons to stay out of fighting but Arkantos' negative feedback is plagued with emotionalism. His skill is clearly in the heat of battle, and not in debate. Theocrat's reply shows great skill as an orator, he switches gears and pleads not towards Arkantos' religious mind as he previously did but towards he sense of duty as a leader. He says that the leader of the Greek forces, Agamemnon, would be shamed if Arkantos himself did not go. Furthermore he says that as a leader Atlantis needs to show good faith and support for the colonies beneath them. This is a plea that Arkantos can understand and relate to as an admiral. The mindfulness and critical thinking showed by Theocrat shows his skill as a communicator. Unfortunately more noise, this time physical, prevents itself, as Atlantis is attacked by a fearsome kraken. The conversation is cut short as Arkantos runs to face the creature.
