Odysseus Strengths And Weaknesses

Challenges. Wax in his men's ears. Cannibal women. Sounds like the movie Wrong Turn? No it’s Homer’s story of Odysseus. The character Odysseus has many strengths,weaknesses,and conflicts. The character Odysseus demonstrates immense strengths such as courage and trust. First, he lets his crew members tie him up without having wax in his ears. In Homer's text he states “bind me still the more.” That he's brave enough to allow himself to be tied up shows his courage. Next, Odysseus allows his crew to tie him up and believes they will untie him. Stating “they delivered me from my restraint” displays that he respects his men to obey him which shows his trust in them. As well as portraying strengths, he also demonstrates weaknesses.
