Penelope is an admirable women, and The Odyssey makes this clear. In many ways, Penelope resembles her husband. She is always convinced of the fact that Odysseus will come back home. Moreover, she greatly values herself, her honour and her dignity, in the same way Odysseus does. The way she tricks the suitors show that she is clever, and can device complex plans. Finally, the fact that she did not succumb to the pressure of marriage shows that she is strong and brave.
