Penelope learns what the suitors are thinking through her handmaidens, who eavesdrop on their conversations and report back to her. She also uses her own intuition and keen observation skills to understand the suitors' intentions and motivations. Additionally, Penelope occasionally interacts directly with the suitors to gather information and assess their behavior.
