For three thousand years, mankind has been praising Penelope, the wife of the legendary Odysseus, for her patience and loyalty. Margaret Atwood decided to give the floor to Penelope herself: her novel is a bitter and sincere monologue of a woman who has devoted her whole life to her beloved man, soberly aware of the exorbitance of her victim, but, despite this, does not regret anything.
No regrets
For three thousand years, mankind has been praising Penelope, the wife of the legendary Odysseus, for her patience and loyalty. Margaret Atwood decided to give the floor to Penelope herself: her novel is a bitter and sincere monologue of a woman who has devoted her whole life to her beloved man, soberly aware of the exorbitance of her victim, but, despite this, does not regret anything. The heroine Atwood is a strong personality, capable of making decisions and being responsible for them. The transformation of Penelope from a faceless mythological character into a living, concrete woman makes her image amazingly modern, giving a new, relevant sound to ancient history.
