This poem discusses the passage of time and time's effect on beauty.

When Shakespeare writes "unfair which fairly doth excel," he says that time (which once helped a child age into beauty) will then take that beautiful adult and make him or her old. That which now "excels" will eventually be made unfair.

Basically, time was good to the child, by making the child a beautiful adult, but soon time will be "unfair" and "play the tyrant" to the beautiful adult, who currently "excels," by making him or her old.

Anit [1.1K]
There are several conflicts between Telemachus and the suitors; they relate to ethics, economics, emotions, and psychology. The suitors want to marry Penelope (well, for her to marry one of them). This would make one of them Telemachus' new father, and would mean he gave Odysseus up for dead. He doesn't want that. He wants to be a good son, and loyal. At the same time, the Greeks put a high value on hospitality
