Penelope
EXAMPLES OF... Epithet- God of the Zenith, referring to Zeus Epic Simile- Your name has gone out under heaven like the sweet honor of some god-fearing king... Verbal Irony- Eat up his property, referring to the suitors taking over Ithaca
EXAMPLES OF- Characterization- How penelope decided to unravel her weaving every night in order to buy herself time before marrige shows how she is clever Conflict- Her parents and society want Penelope to marry while she does not desireto Symbolism- Penelope's hope for Odysseus' return symbolises Ithaca- for it is fading and Ithaca's glory is fading
I think that Odysseus resembles an Epic Hero in this episode, not for physical, but for emotional and mental reasons. At Penelope's lowest hope left for him to return, he speaks to her as a beggar. He assures Penelope that Odysseus is on his way home now, and that he will be home very soon. The beggar describes Odysseus' clothes and gives Penelope hope and the strength to refuse the suitors' marrige proposals.
The wallpaper resembles Penelope waiting for Odysseus and the tree is what their bed is made of in the nect episode.
