Question

One Quotes from The Odyssey that shows how Penelope was feeling during Odysseus was gone on his journey or when she was with suitors.

Answer 1

When Penelope tells her story to the “beggar” (Odysseus in disguise), she cannot help boasting a little about her ability to deceive the suitors. This shows us two ways Penelope is like her husband: first, she’s a skilled deceiver, and second, she’s proud of it. Penelope also has a sense of humor.
