What is the comparison and contrast of Odysseus and Polyphemus the cyclops?

English
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]2 years ago
6 0
Both Odysseus and Polyphemus are, in a way, selfish and reckless characters. Whereas Polyphemus is a one-eyed man-eating beast, Odysseus doesn't hesitate to sacrifice the lives of other people when it suits his interests. Also, Odysseus presents himself to Polyphemus as "Nobody", which is a symbolic act of dehumanizing himself, bringing himself in line with the Cyclope.

As for contrast, it is more obvious. Odysseus represents the power of human intelligence and ingenuity, while Polyphemus is almost a caricature, a grotesque one-eyed being whose only advantage is the enormous strength and the fact that his father is Poseidon.

Sphinxa [80]
As per assembling a writing plan for an essay, the better answer, if not the best, would be B. Material that catches the reader's interest.

Many would argue that the correct answer would be D. the general idea of your essay or maybe C. a brief summary of your conclusion or perhaps A. the first section of the body of your essay. Well, they are all correct. As long as what follows is duly taken noted and is consistent to keep the flow of the essay that when the final paper is read, it isn't confusing in any way. Though generally speaking, what should come first would be the material that catches the reader's interest.
