AT LAST!! :) :) :) Ok, so it wasn't really that bad, but I'm kind of tired of it. When I started it seemed like Ulysses was a good guy, but at the end he's murdering everyone, even his servants, and he's enjoying it. That just seems wrong. It seems like most everyone then thought that killing (which, in general, is different than fighting in a war to me) was good. I'd didn't like it at all. One thing I found highly confusing/annoying is that in many areas of the book it would say one thing, then a few pages later would say another. One example of that sort of thing was when Ulysses would swear upon the gods to tell the truth about his trip (or something), then he would tell a complete lie. It was so annoying! I'm glad we're done for now.
Yeah, everyone almost seems to have an ability to ignore or pardon violence, as if it was just a masculine thing to do...
ReplyDeleteOdysseus was quite crafty and somewhat manipulative!
