Several of the characters in The Odyssey experience conflict. List three characters, state a conflict of theirs and briefly tell how they resolve it.

Question

Odysseus: Must defeat the cyclops, does so by blinding it. He and his men then tie themselves to the underbellies of sheep, so when the cyclops lets his sheep out to graze, Odysseus and his men are able to escape undetected.

Telemachus: Must stop the suitors from making his mother remarry, does so by helping his father kill them.

Penelope: Tries to fend off the suitors and wait for her husband to return, does so by claiming to choose a suitor after completing a burial shroud, which she unweaves every night to buy herself more time.

So does this look okay, and did I get anything wrong?

Answer 5

So I should write something like: Penelope, Odysseus's wife, tries to fend off... ?
I should also have mentioned that this will be in a chart, not as an essay type answer.

Answer 6

If you are putting all this into a chart, then your first responses are undoubtedly best. You don't need full sentences if you'll be making a chart.

As Reed said above, yours are well done. You can add others if you wish.
