Penelope- loyalty
Odysseus
o he sleeps with calypso and Circe (he isn’t faithful)
o responsible for the deaths of a lot of people
o clever: blinding the cyclops, hiding under sheep, wax to plug ears
o Impulsive
Duffy uses this poem in her world’s wife collection because she has been loyal to her husband, even though he has been unfaithful and cheats on her with other women.
Circe turned Odysseus’ men into pigs. Odysseus stays with her for a year.
