Q. Do you totally trust in Odysseus’s desire to return home? Do you think Homer does? Why or why not?
A. I totally trust in Odysseus’s desire to return home. One sentence of the Book I that supports my claim is from lines 19-22 it said that it began when the men who left behind the dead have returned, while Odysseus longed for home and his wife. (Homer, Fitzgerald, 1) I think Homer does. From this sentence, it can be interpreted that the men who fought in the war went back home, but Odysseus, however, wished to return. The war seemed to make him want to return.
I agree with you; I also trust in Odysseus’ desire to return home. Odysseus’ return back home was very important for his family and his kingdom. Odysseus seems to be the only hope that could save everyone from the suitors. Homer showed interest and trusted in Odysseus’ return throughout the Odyssey as well. Odysseus’ return can be considered a major/main event of this epic.
