Penelope In Homer’s Odyssey, Odysseus’s wife Penelope must ward off suitors from other Greek kingdoms (the Achaeans) as she waits for her husband’s return after decades of absence. This adaptation of the Odyssey explains Penelope’s strategy.


1 One of the suitors complained to Penelope’s son about her long delay in agreeing to remarry.


2 "The trouble is not with the Achaean wooers, but in your own mother, for she is the craftiest of women. For it is now the third year, and the fourth is fast going by, since she began to deceive us. She gives hope to all, and makes promises to every man, and sends them messages, but her mind is set on other things. And she has devised in her heart this trick besides; she set up in her halls a mighty loom and told us, ‘You princely youths, my wooers, now that the goodly Odysseus is dead, wait patiently, however eager you are, until I finish this funeral robe I am weaving for my father-in-law Laertes, for the day when he dies. This way no-one shall blame me if he lies without a shroud. ’


3 "So she spoke, and our hearts agreed. So then in the daytime she would weave the robe, and in the night unravel it, in the dim light of torches. Thus for the space of three years she hid the thing by craft and deceived the Achaeans; but when the fourth year arrived and the seasons came round, then at the last one of her women who knew all declared it, and we found her unraveling the splendid robe. Thus she was forced to finish it against her will. "


Amoretti XXIII by Edmund Spenser


Penelope for her Ulysses’ sake, Devised a web her wooers to deceive; In which the work that she all day did make The same at night she did again unreave


Such subtle craft my Damsel doth conceive, Th’importune suit of my desire to shun: For all that I in many days do weave, In one short hour I find by her undone. So when I think to end that I begun, I must begin and never bring to end: For with one look she spills that long I spun, And with one word my whole year’s work doth rend. Such labour like the spider’s web I find, Whose fruitless work is broken with least wind.


Describe the ways in which the poem "Amoretti XXIII" uses and transforms the Greek story of Penelope, using specific details from both texts

Answer:

The poem "Amoretti XXIII" refers to the story of Penelope, as told in The Odyssey. In The Odyssey, Penelope is Ulysses' wife. Although Ulysses is gone for twenty years, Penelope never stops loving him, and always remained faithful to him. To avoid giving in to the pressure of remarrying, she states that she will only remarry once she is finished with her weaving. However, she weaves during the day and unweaves at night to make them wait longer.

In "Amoretti XXIII," Spencer refers to this story. However, instead of using the story as a symbol of enduring love that succeeds, he uses it as a metaphor to introduce his story of less successful love. Spencer compares himself to Penelope and tells us that he weaves all day to achieve love. However, his beloved unweave his efforts for him ("Th’ importune suit of my desire to shonne:/For all that I in many days doo weave,/In one short hour I find by her undone"). This implies that Spencer's love is not reciprocated, which is a different take on Penelope's story. Spenser's situation leaves him heartbroken, and he tells us that his efforts are no more resistant or successful than spider webs that are destroyed by the wind ("Such labor like the Spyders web I find,/Whose fruitless work is broken with least wynd").

In this discussion, you will demonstrate your understanding of syntax in writing. you will explain your understanding of its effect in writing and how you might use it in your own writing.

let's read khianna's post.

syntax means "the way you use words in sentences." one example is when jean says, "part of me wanted to laugh at the thought of lin nai-nai maybe meeting dr. carhart, our minister, whose face would surely puff up, the way it always did when he was flustered." this wording reflects the humor in jean's thinking. syntax can affect meaning by giving the words used an added edge. i can use syntax by being much more careful about how i construct sentences.

in this lesson, you learned about syntax. define syntax in your own words, and give an example from the reading. explain how syntax can affect meaning. as a writer, how can you use syntax to make your writing more effective?
