The development of odysseus’ character is an important theme in the odyssey. already we have seen odysseus change from the victim on calypso’s island to a man who uses his charm to attain his goals upon meeting nausicca. discuss this transformation and its importance to the poem.

The changes and developments in Odysseus' character are an essential part of the story. All throughout his journey, he's presented with all kinds of adverse situations that lead him to adapt his personal qualities in order to overcome them and succeed.

We see this in the harm that pride causes getting in the way of his plan to surpass Polyphemus; after which he starts to become more resiliant and focused. Also in the hopelessness he felt trapped on Calypso's island; which after the escape injected him with a tremendous will-power that would lead him back home, as well as a renewed sense of pride in his own intelligence and abilities.

Hope this helps!

self-monitoring is in other words holding back your emotions for the better good. usually, people who can't hold their excitement, temper, or any other emotions, need to self-monitor themselves.   lol

x=4, y=4

step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-4;

x+2y=12

we can use substitution since the first equation is solved for y

where ever you see y in the second equation, replace it with 2x-4

x + 2(2x-4) = 12

distribute the 2

x+4x-8 = 12

combine like terms

5x-8=12

add 8 to each side

5x-8+8=12+8

5x=20

divide by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x =4

we still need to solve for y

y = 2x-4

we know x =4

y = 2(4) -4

y = 8-4

y=4
