Penelope, the weaver, is a literary reference to fidelity.  

While Odysseus is absent, Penelope is pretended by several men, who settle in the palace and nastily eat her banquets, while waiting for the queen to choose one of them. To maintain her fidelity, Penelope tells the suitors that she will accept a new husband when she finishes weaving a shroud for King Laertes, on whom she was working. To prolong this task as long as possible, Penelope undoes at night what she weaves during the day, however, a woman betrays her an tell the other men, so she is forced to finish the job. Odysseus returns just in time, killing the suitors .

What was Ray Bradbury's political views?
yarga [219]
Ray Bradbury was disturbed by the future of America. He was afraid for the fate of the whole earth, he acutely felt the threat of fascism. His political views are reflected in his works. That's why he received a special distinction: his name was included in fascists' list of those who was sentenced to death. On a day when they will come to power... But that day will never come because Ray Bradbury is not alone in America.
