Penelope's Reaction Before & After
When Odysseus entered his house his wife ,Penelope, was sitting across from him. Then his son ,Telemachus, told his mom why is she acting mean, heartless and cruel with his father (Odysseus). He later responds (Odysseus) that his mom is testing him and that it is fine because he knows he loves her and he has nothing to hide from her. Penelope then still doesn't talk to him. Odysseus tells his son, swineherd and cowherd to bathe him and they proceed and they do and make him like a gold infused on silver by a craftsman. When his finished he goes on and talks to his wife asking her why is is she being distance with her and why isn't she loving him. She replies and says that she has no scorn, nor any merely and nor pride for him. She then tells Eurycleia to move his bed outside of the bedroom. He later came and when he went to lay down there was only rugs, fleeces and sheets of purest linen. After that she realized that she can't hate him so she ran towards him and was crying and saying that she loves him and how he hops that he is not mad at her and she hugged and kissed and lastly hugged like it was forever.
