Odysseus must have thought about killing Polyphemus but rejected the idea for at least one reason. The main reason would have been that it was nearly impossible to murder the giant because they had no adequate means of doing it. If they had tried to stab Polyphemus with a sharpened stake, they might have only wounded him.

Odysseus does not stab Polyphemus, the Cyclops, because if he does, he will be trapped in the cave along with some of his men. A boulder is blocking the cave exit, and the Cyclops is the only thing strong enough to move it.

I hope this helps!

lidiya [134]

In Why, You Reckon the narrator and the other man don't hold Edward for ransom because they just were interested in the money he had.

I would say the motivation for not doing so was external since they were hungry and taking the time for holding Edward would have taken a lot of time.
