I am so happy that Ulysses' story is finally over! I really enjoy the book so far, but it does get sidetracked quite a bit. What really surprised me was the Ulysses' told another story in book 14, how many stories is there going to be?
There have been some parts that I found to be confusing with switching of perspectives and all, though.This whole section was basically stories and plotting against the suitors. I wish that something more exciting had happened other than what happened in the stories. Every other paragrah was something like, "And Ulysses went and sat in the corner, plotting his revenge on the ungrateful and greedy suitors." Yeah, like normal people do that, why not just laugh like a maniac while rubbing your hands together.
I found that it was more difficult to post my thoughts as I was reading, because in the paragraph it would be answered. But something that wasn't answered directly in the text was why Ulysses had to keep Penelope in the dark. Was it because she might spread the word to others that weren't supposed to know? Like the suitors? I was also wondering when they are going to take their revenge. It seems like they should do it sooner rather than later for the well-being of the others.
