Read the passage from The Odyssey - Penelope. Ruses serve my turn to draw the time out—first a close-grained web I had the happy

thought to set up weaving on my big loom in the hall. I said, that day: 'Young men—my suitors, now my lord is dead let me finish my weaving before I marry, or else my thread will have been spun in vain. It is a shroud I weave for Lord Laertes when cold Death comes to lay him on his bier. The country wives would hold me in dishonor if he, with all his fortune, lay unshrouded.' I reached their hearts that way, and they agreed. So every day I wove on the great loom, but every night by torchlight I unwove it; and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians. Which line from the passage best shows that Penelope is clever?

So every day I wove on the great loom, but every night by torchlight I unwove it; and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians.

 

<span>This line shows that Penelope is clever because at the beginning of the passage, Penelope requests that the suitors leave her alone and not ask her to marry until she finishes weaving a death shroud she had already started because if she were not allowed to finish, her efforts at beginning the shroud would have been in vain.  To this appeal to their emotions, the suitors agree.  And, knowing the suitors would respect her request, at the end of a day of weaving, she would undo all she had done in the daytime thereby keeping the suitors at bay for 3 years. </span>

Why do we, as humans, sometimes mess up and do BAD things? Write Essays
Zanzabum

Answer:

They may be mentally ill and therefore unable to apply morality in a way that is generally accepted. They may not understand that what they are doing is bad - or there definition of good and bad does not follow the accepted norm.

They may be religious and follow rules or instructions that contradict the golden rule. As Steven Weinberg said “With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.”.

They may be acting under some duress. For example they may be forced to do something bad with the threat of something bad happening to them if they do not. A similar effect can occur when people are strongly indoctrinated with some idea - for example the effect that the Nazis had on the people of Germany.

I am sure there are more reasons I could think of if I thought about it for long enough. The point being that people do bad things for all sorts of reasons.
