100 POINTS!!!! HELP!! The suitors’ behavior may seem strange to you, especially their staying on with Penelope in the face of Telemachus’s direct desire for them to leave. Take the suitors’ point of view and in no less than seventy-five words, give a reason or reasons they felt justified in staying.

i argee with what he said

"Well, Melanthius’s disrespectful treatment of Odysseus stands in stark contrast to Eumaeus’s unflinching loyalty to his master. Similarly, in contrast to the devoted Eurycleia, Melantho proves the embodiment of ingratitude toward Penelope: though Penelope raised her like her own child, Melantho shows no concern for Penelope’s grief. But, The foreshadowing is not lost on the suitor Amphinomus, who walks away stony with dread."
