"Indeed, were I to tell you all that heaven has seen fit to lay upon me, you would say that I was still better off than they are. Nevertheless, let me sup in spite of sorrow, for an empty stomach is a very importunate thing, and thrusts itself on a mass notice no matter how dire is his distress. I am in great trouble, yet it insists that I shall eat and dwell only on the due replenishing of itself."

While the Graphic Novel does a good job in showing the characters expressions, I believe that the passage does a better job in providing insight on Odysseus. I believe that the passage provides a stronger representation on Odysseus because it goes deeper into his thoughts and emotions, offering a more detailed insight into his resilience and the conflict between his sorrows and basic needs, which further show why he is an Epic Hero. Visuals in the graphic novel don't fully convey what Odysseus is thinking. Even though the Graphic Novel shows characters expressions it takes away parts of Odysseus and Alcinous conversation which is a key factor in finding out the type of hero Odysseus is.

"Odysseus glared at them and said, 'Dogs, did you think that I should not come back from Troy? You have wasted my substance, have forced my woman servants to lie with you, and have wooved my wife while I was still living. You have feared neither God nor man, and now you shall die."

The original passage is better because it shows what the characters are feeling and thinking more clearly. In the original passage we get to see how angry Odysseus is and how the suitors are scared through what they say and do. Like when Odysseus says, "Dogs did you think that I should not come back from Troy" That shows how angry he is, and we can understand it better because of the words he uses. The passage also tells us what the characters are thinking, which helps us understand the story more. The pictures in the graphic novel are good, but they don't show all the feelings and thoughts like the passage does.

"Indeed they would have gone on indulging their sorrow till rosy-fingered morn appeared, had not Minerva determined otherwise, and they held night back in the far west, while she would not suffer dawn to leave Oceanus, nor to yorke the two steeds Lampus and Phaethon that bear her onward to break the day upon mankind"

This quote marks the resolution as Odysseus and Penelope finally reunite, embracing each other emotionally and rekindling their deep bond. Their sorrow and longing come to an end as they are prevented from prolonging their emotional moment by the divine intervention of Minerva, maintaining the night and delaying the break of dawn.

In the resolution, I find the graphic novel offers a stronger representation. While the original passage narrates emotional expressions like "she flew weeping to his side, flung her arms around his neck, and kissed him," and "Then Odysseus in his turn melted, and wept as he clasped his dear and faithful wife to his bosom," the graphic novel vividly displays the emotions through visual expressions. This visual depiction helps in understanding and conveying their feelings, which might be challenging to understand only through text. Despite the graphic novel lacking some characters' thoughts, it is really good in illustrating actions and expressions, providing clearer view of the resolution.
