Penelope tells the beggar (Odysseus in disguise) that at night she unravels a burial shroud she is making intended for Laertes every night in order to keep the would-be suitors at bay until her husband returns .
Penelope was able to fool the suitors and avoid remarriage for twenty years. She cleverly delayed her decision by weaving and unraveling a tapestry, claiming she would choose a suitor once her weaving was complete. This ruse bought her time until the return of her husband, Odysseus.
Penelope deceived the suitors by weaving a large tapestry during the day and unraveling it at night, claiming she would choose a husband once the weaving was complete. This clever ruse bought her time, as the suitors believed they could win her over while she ostensibly worked on the project. The trick continued for three years until a maid revealed her secret, but it effectively delayed her remarriage. Ultimately, this cunning strategy demonstrated Penelope's intelligence and loyalty to her husband, Odysseus.
Odysseus accuses Penelope of being hardhearted because she has remained faithful to him for 20 years, delaying the suitors who are trying to marry her while he is away. In his disguise as a beggar, Odysseus tests Penelope's loyalty before revealing his true identity.
Penelope is a character from The Odyssey, a Greek Epic written about a man named Odysseus that is trying to find his way home from the Trojan War. Odysseus' wife is Penelope, and while Odysseus is gone, she experiences pressure from 108 suitors trying to remarry her. However, she stays faithful Odysseus. He finally returns 20 years later to beat the suitors and take back his palace.
Yes, he's married to Penelope. Odysseus and Penelope have a son, Telemachus. Odysseus tells Penelope, "You must promise me, if I don't come back by the time Telemachus has a beard, you must marry." Penelope promises. Odysseus, still alive after 20 years, comes back to Ithaca to find suitors (men who are trying to marry Penelope) all over his home. Penelope knew he was still alive after 20 years, but people kept telling her he was dead. Suitors are very mean. Athena discuises Odysseus as an old beggar, and he, and telemachus go to their house. Penelope doesn't know it's odyssus. she tells Odysseus (the "beggar") that he still loves Odysseus and promised that she'd marry when telemachus had a beard. he had a beard now. so she held a contest to pick a husband. the contest was to string Odysseus's box & shoot an arrow through 12 ax handles. all the suitors failed to string the bow. Odysseus, the beggar, strung the box, and shot it through the 12 ax handles. he, and telemachus, killed the suitors. Athena turned Odysseus back into his old self after he killed the suitors. Penelope didn't know if it was really Odysseus, so she told the maids to remove their bed from their tree & into another room. Odysseus got mad, since right after he left for troy, he built their house & bed around a tree. Their bed was basically their symbol. Penelope then realized it was really Odysseus. Penelope & Odysseus were then reunited with each other again. Hope I helped! (:
