Yes, I feel some sympathy for the Cyclops, particularly in the context of his isolation and lack of understanding of others. While his actions can be violent and brutal, they stem from a life of solitude and a different set of values compared to humans. His tragic fate at the hands of Odysseus highlights the consequences of misunderstanding and the clash between civilizations. Ultimately, his character evokes a sense of pity for being both a victim of his circumstances and a creature driven by instinct.

What was the the cyclops response when Odysseus told him of their ship wreck?

When Odysseus informs the Cyclops Polyphemus about their shipwreck, the Cyclops dismisses his concern and expresses disdain. He boasts about his strength and dominance over the crew, showing no sympathy for their plight. Polyphemus is more interested in consuming Odysseus and his men than in offering help or showing any emotion regarding their misfortune. This arrogance ultimately leads to his downfall when Odysseus devises a clever escape plan.
