Question

In no less than seventy-five words, explain why the end of the Odyssey doesn't seem like a final ending, giving
examples from the text.

Answer 1

The ending of "Odyssey" doesn't feel like an ending because it doesn't show the aftermath of the deaths of Penelope's suitors, which indicates that revenge may happen.

How is the ending of "Odyssey?"

• Odysseus returns home to find it full of suitors for Penelope.
• Odysseus kills all suitors.
• Odysseus is reunited with his wife and son.
• Odysseus is reunited with his father.

Penelope's suitors belonged to important families in the region. These families must not have accepted the death of their children willingly and as this was a violent society, they would certainly seek revenge against Odysseus and his family.

The book does not show how the suitors' families reacted, but it does promote a strong focus on the deaths of these suitors, showing that they had a great impact on this region.

Also, an action like this may have consequences and those consequences weren't shown until the end of the book, which leaves the ending open to speculation.
