Answer:

With strength and planning, one can resist temptation.

Explanation:

In Homer's "Odyssey", the main hero of the epic narrative story is Odysseus. The story details the journey of Odysseus and his men from their way back home to Ithaca after the war at Troy.

In Book 12 of the story, Circe warns Odysseus of the journey ahead and the sounds of the sirens that will try to lure the men. She advised him on how to be safe from these creatures' calls, telling him to seal their ears so that they won't get any sound in. Also, she told him to do the same and also tie himself at the mast so that even after his desperate pleas, he won't be able to get loose. This obedience led them through the waters safe and away from the danger of the Sirens and their temptations. This scene shows the theme of perseverance, strength and planning as a means of avoiding and resisting temptation.

How might a woman's legal status in the early 20th century affect her
grandymaker [24]
National and state constitutions included little mention of women. Even though Hoosier women were enumerated in the census which paved the way for statehood and had to share the burden of taxation, they were not allowed to vote or hold office. Rights for which a revolution was fomented were denied women – as they were to slaves, "lunatics," and "idiots."

Further exacerbating the situation, rights normally enjoyed by women were often withdrawn when she married. Indeed, a woman gave up so many civil and property rights upon crossing the threshold that she was said to be entering a state of "civil death." This unhappy circumstance arose partially because American (and Indiana) law was based upon English common law. Predicated on "precedent and fixed principles," common law had dictated a subordinate position for women. Married women generally were not allowed to make contracts, devise wills, take part in other legal transactions, or control any wages they might earn. One of the few legal advantages of marriage for a woman was that her husband was obligated to support her and be responsible for her debts. It is highly doubtful that these latter provisions outweighed the lack of other rights, particularly in the area women faced the most severe restriction, property rights.
