Question

Explain the character traits that both Odysseus and Penelope possess. Provide examples to support your answer.

Answer 1

 So I'll give you specific detail and the answer to your question is: She is  loyal and faithful to Odysseus she never gives in those suitors after all, even though Odysseus is said to have fathered illegitimate sons all over the Mediterranean during his travels.

Penelope is also clever  although usually it's Odysseus who is said to be clever or wily. But when she's backed into a corner and forced to choose a suitor, Penelope agrees she'll wed one of them, but first must weave this special cloth. Then, as the suitors get drunk as skunks each day, she weaves in full view. But at night, while they're all sleeping it off, she stays up late, ripping out everything she wove during the daylight hours. So she makes very little progress on this weaving! And they're too stupid to notice.

She must also be very forceful in her personality, although she doesn't come off this way in the story. Because she's ruling Ithaca in the absence of her husband, for 20 years. He's at Troy for 10 years, you know. Then it takes him another 10 years to get home. Somebody had to be ruling the roost! That was Penelope. So you may not find any text to back this up, but I'm telling you, she had to have some backbone to her!  He promptly abandoned her again and sailed away once more, as soon as he got her pregnant again! Then he off and marries somebody else in the next country. So I hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Clever & Loyal/Faithful

Explanation:

A character trait that both Penelope and Odysseus share is cleverness. Typically, Odysseus is considered to be the one that is clever. Penelope is clever because when is forced to choose between the suitors, she says that she will marry, but not until she has finished weaving a shroud for Laertes. Everyday she adds a little more to the weaving. However, she has been unweaving it every night, and the suitors are none the wiser! Another quality the Penelope possesses is her being loyal to her husband, even though has been away for 17 years.
