The Odyssey: Writing a Character Analysis, Part 3

Question 3 • MO-English Language Arts 9 A-CR

Which conclusion about Odysseus is most logical and could be used in a paragraph about the qualities that make him courageous?

Answer
A
Odysseus can be characterized as courageous because he leads his crew through dangerous waters.
B
Odysseus can be characterized as courageous because he has the idea to use beeswax to protect his crew from the Sirens’ song.
C
Odysseus can be characterized as courageous because he shares a message from Circe with his crew.
D
Odysseus can be characterized as courageous because he tries to say, “Untie me!” to his crew.

Explanation

Leading his crew through dangerous waters shows Odysseus facing real danger while taking responsibility for others, which supports the conclusion that he is courageous. Using beeswax is a clever plan, and sharing Circe’s message is communication; neither alone shows courage as clearly. Trying to say “Untie me!” suggests he is struggling against his crew’s protection rather than demonstrating courage.
