The Odyssey: Writing a Character Analysis, Part 3

Question 9 • AZ-English Language Arts 9 A-CR

Read the excerpt from Part 2 of The Odyssey by Homer.I would not heed them in my glorying spirit, but let my anger flare and yelled:'Cyclops,if ever mortal man inquirehow you were put to shame and blinded, tell him Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye: Laertes' son, whose home's on Ithaca!'

Answer
A
frustrated.
B
proud.
C
violent.
D
sympathetic.

Explanation

Odysseus says he would not hold back but would let his anger flare and boast about blinding the Cyclops. His “glorying spirit” shows that he feels proud of what he has done and wants others to know his name. So “proud” is the best choice; “frustrated” and “sympathetic” do not fit his boastful words.
