Answer:
how could it bore me to death?
I think the theme for that scene is that love and family make a homecoming worth while but i could be wrong. My reasoning is that in the odyssey, it is crucial to remember the wife’s devotion to her husband and so he only felt good when he received her attention. Granted he is a player and cheated on his wife, he always respected her and essentially demanded the same from her. And after is long journey back home, it is rewarding to see good things such as his wife still staying loyal to him after the craziness he went through.
Roach's tone is playful and conversational. Although her piece is very informative, it does not come across as cut-and-dry facts, but rather is enjoyable to read. For example, when Roach lists the apparently "yucky" food she's already eaten, she pokes fun at herself, saying "I am, yes, one of those annoying travelers who boast about the disgusting food they've lived to tell about." This self-awareness makes Roach seem like she is speaking directly to you, and makes you want to continue having a conversation with her.
