Question

Question 1

Describe how Odysseus and his men escape the cyclops. What type of heroic quality or qualities did Odysseus demonstrate during the escape?





Question 2
The cyclops in this part of the story would be the antagonist or “bad guy.” Can you think of other stories or movies that have similar antagonists? Explain.

Answer 1

Question 1 -

He shows his intelligence and cunning. He first tricks the Cyclops with the story about his name so as to have him say that nobody hurt him, and then he devises a plan with the sheep which shows that he's not just physically capable of being a warrior, but also an intelligent man. Of course, he messes it up in the end by being too proud and vain, but before that everything was working fine for him.

Question 2 -

I wouldn't know how to help with the second question... Different types of movies or stories such as Harry Potter, Avengers, Aladdin, etc. They all have "bad guys" or antagonists.
