Right now, the paper sounds like a description of all of the different roles he plays, without a unifying theme to tie them together. What is Homer trying to show by having such a multiplicitous character?

Sometimes Homer seems to be promoting Odysseus as a strong, composed and intelligent person but yet Homer also reveals a side to which Odysseus is also imperfect. Yes Odysseus was the one who saved his men from Kyklops but where was he when his men ate Helios’ sheep and cattle which led to their deaths? You can also mention how Odysseus, as godly as he seems, can sometimes be overtaken by hubris (i.e. when he taunted Kyklops after outwitting him then almost getting killed by retaliation). So it would be a great argument if you explained why Homer would do such a thing, almost showing two extremes of a character at different times throughout the epic.

If you're going to deviate from the conventional explanation, then you have to explain why. Also, make sure you use MLA as required - it'll cost you points. Ilir,

How, in the later books, is this idea reinforced? You call him cowardly, and then explain the absence of a father means that he cannot grow up properly – is that cowardly, or a victim of circumstance? You need to explain your ideas a little more clearly. Ilir,
