Penelope's Point of View


The theme of loyalty is illustrated through a number of characters in The Odyssey, but possibly the most memorable character known for steadfast loyalty is Penelope. You will get a chance to explore Penelope's character when you read the play Penelope, a story of Odysseus's journey through her point of view. What do you notice about the relationship between Odysseus and Penelope? Is it too much to ask someone to wait twenty years? I wonder about Odysseus's obligation to his family. When reading the epic poem and the play, what do you notice about priorities? How do your own priorities compare?

Thanks for your patience on your grade checks. I understand that some of them had to be reentered in the computer system and reprinted. Kudos to those of you who efficiently calculated the numbers and politely brought this to Mr. D's attention. I appreciate you all.
