Telemachus

Telemachus and his father meet for the first time in close to twenty years. He has matured a lot since then and he shows it very clearly in this book. Instead of being caught up in the fact that his father is home Telemachus focus' on the overall problem. He realizes that he still needs to get rid of the suiters who are no good and they are there to try and get to his mother. He knows that his dad was an amazing trustworthy person and he honors that until the day his father returns.

When Telemachus is told by his father to let him tolerate the ill treatment until he is given a sign, Telemachus trusts his father. But he is concernd about how his father is going to beat all the suitors. He tells his father that there are only two of them and there are many of the suitors an winning against all of them would be very difficult. But he trusts his father when he is told that there will be enough help and that they are going to get rid of all the chaos. Telemachus has just met his father and is putting all his trust into him. It has to take a lot of courage to do that.

Telemachus is loved by his father and mother. But he isnt treated with any respect since the suitors have been there. The suitors have taken over his house and his family.

I think that Telemachus is a very strong person both physically and mentally. He went through his life without his father being there and his home being taken over by suitors. He was mature and understanding about everything that he went through.
