Penelope's interview with the beggar is ironic because, unbeknownst to her, the beggar is actually her husband, Odysseus, in disguise. Despite spending years waiting for his return, Penelope fails to recognize him, showcasing her loyalty and patience. This encounter reveals the power of disguise and the testing of identity within the epic narrative.
