The_Odyssey

The Odyssey The Odyssey and Hamlet are two very similar books. The Odyssey is about a 10 year journey and that goes through so many obstacle courses in his life. During all this everyone is effected by it the wife the town and most importantly his own son. his son had faith in his father regardless of what anyone had said about him. At one point Telemachus (Odysseus' Son) thought he was dead. But they were soon reunited, and traveled home together. Hamlet in a way relates to the Odyssey, as some of us know Hamlet was about Prince who loved his father very deeply and yet his father was taken away from him. he was murdered and his father came back in spirit and asked his son to avenge his father's death. These two books are similar because it's all about journey. Hamlet's journey was a emotional one and the Odyssey was a emotional and physical journey. Not only were the fathers and sons alike but the mothers as well. Overall they were both different also it took place in different times, different countries, and they were different types of situations that might force them to act differently.
