F. Dennoment
The relationship of Odysseus and Penelope is reconciled with the help o f their goddess.
And also their kingdom with love, peace and loyal servants.
Reaction
For me this story is very interesting and has a sentimental value of love and sacrifices.
Because the main character encountered many challenges done by Poseidon. But I admire his
personality for being brave and strong. To Penelope, I like her attitude for being understanding
and sacrificing person to her suitors. Even though she had a lot of suitor, she did not choose
one person to substitute the throne of Odysseus. Because she is still hoping that her husband
will come back in their kingdom. To Anteclia, I felt regret for her loosing of hope to her son, and
that is the cause of her suicide in the sea. To Thelemacus characters, I admire his personality of
being handsome son, because he easily recognizes his father. Even he did not see his father
since birth.
Conclusion
After the 0 years of sacrificing, Odysseus came back to his kingdom Ithaca with the fall
of revenge to the suitors of Penelope who abused his kingdom . Then they killed all the suitors
in one room with the help of his son, Thelemacus. At the end o the story, the old kingdom of
Ichaca is came back with the approval of Zeus, intervenes to establish peace and prosperity in
Ithaca again. With the leader of the old king Odyssey and queen Penelope.
Recommendation
I will recommend this movie to the students who take up the literature subject. So that
they can better understand how the Greek warriors fight for colonizing a country. And also it
has a lot of lesson that we can get in this movie that we can apply in apply in life today. Being
loyal in one person, sacrificing in one situation and understanding.
