Q#3
“Meanwhile he lives and grieves upon that island in thralldom to the nymph; he cannot stir, cannot fare homeward, for no ship is left him, fitted with oars – no crewmen or companions”
Pg. 81 Lines 15-18
I find this quote to represent alot of things about Odysseus. One thing is it shows Odysseus' challenges on his journey. He was isolated on an island with no way to get home. Since he made it home, it shows how determined he is on his journey, he didn't give up even when he was stuck on island with no one he knew. It also shows his loyalty. This is shown because it shows how loyal to his wife he is, he isolated himself from Kalypso, the only person he could interact with, since he loved his wife so much. It also shows he is reverent since it is the gods talking about him. They gods also eventually free him, showing he has earned the gods respect that some of them care for him too.
