To answer your last question first (only because it's a
simple answer), Elesin is upset because the women have not clothed him in the
traditional clothing of honour. Because he is going to die for honour and is being
regarded as someone of honour, he needs to be treated as such, and one such important
way, particularly by women, that this honour is given to him is through clothing him in
special cloths.
Other characters to whom honour is
important would be Pilkings, in particular. He is in a similar position as Elesin, as he
needs to look good and appear honourable in front of the prince (like Elesin must for
the king) and so on. Read over Pilkings' scenes, you should find a lot of desire for
honour in his character. Hope that was helpful!
