Antinous suggests that the suitors view Penelope's reluctance as a form of manipulation and a strategy to prolong their courtship. They perceive her resistance as a game, interpreting her weaving and unweaving of the tapestry as a way to buy time while holding onto hope for Odysseus's return. This attitude reflects their arrogance and entitlement, as they dismiss her genuine feelings in favor of their desires. Ultimately, they see her actions as a challenge to their pursuit rather than a reflection of her loyalty.
