It does not fully conclude fully, in book 23 I show why Odysseus and Penelope longed for each other, why the love is so natural between the two when she tests him. They love to scheme, test, and manipulate, and they are both very good at it. No suitor could replace O. and Circe, Nausicaa, and Calypso could never replace Penelope

The reason why the book doesn’t end nicely at book 22, and why we need books 23 and 24 to end it, is mainly for closure, but to also show a lesson. In all of Greeks story’s, they have a deeper lesson to tell, that they want to show to the reader. In this it is seen in book 24, were the Suitors pay for their actions

I don't think book 22 fully concludes the story. In book 23 and 24 I go more in depth on what happens after Odysseus' trip as concluded. In book 24 I reveal how your actions have consequences and how things are resolved. As well in book 23 I reunite Odysseus and Penelope and everyone can see the relationship between them meeting after 20 years away.

You can see in his letter to Telemachus he wanted to stay in Ithaca for his family.

Odysseus also wants to be in Ithaca because that is where his family is, he tried to prove that he was insane to try and get out of going to the war and staying with his family

“I” have not fully concluded my story. I cannot simply leave this epic without some closure. I have not regained the relationship and connection between O, and P.

Also Odysseus makes many steps to insure that he could stay in Ithaca for a long time. For instance, cleaning the palace and getting rid of the suitors and disloyal maids. As well Odysseus is rejoined with his son and can finally interact with him

It does not fit
-He disguises himself as an old man so no one would know he is back, so people do know him
- It clearly does benefit him being with Penelope if he chooses her over Circes, Nausicaa, and Calypso,

I think Tennyson’s idea of Odysseus does not fit the epics. Tennyson states that Odysseus has a old wife and is not going to want to settle down. His reprentation of Odysseus is that he will leave and seek out adventure again. Why the epic contradicts Tennyson’s idea is because in books 23 and 24 we can really see Odysseus doing things that he would only really do if he was going to stay for a long time. For example proving himself to Penelope w/ the bed.

Odysseus’s challenge in this episode is his biggest weakness because he is naked with no clothes, no food, and no shelter. This is different from his normal king life and that is why it is such a challenge
