The Return of Odysseus by George Bilgere When Odysseus finally does get home he is understandably upset about the suitors, who have been mooching off his wife for twenty years, drinking his wine, eating his mutton, etc. In a similar situation today he would seek legal counsel. But those were different times. With the help of his son Telemachus he slaughters roughly one hundred and ten suitors and quite a number of young ladies, although in view of their behavior I use the term loosely. Rivers of blood course across the palace floor. I too have come home in a bad mood. Yesterday, for instance, after the department meeting, when I ended up losing my choice parking spot behind the library to the new provost. I slammed the door. I threw down my book bag in this particular way I have perfected over the years that lets my wife understand the contempt I have for my enemies, which is prodigious. And then with great skill she built a gin and tonic that would have pleased the very gods, and with epic patience she listened as I told her of my wrath, and of what I intended to do to so-and-so, and also to what's-his-name. And then there was another gin and tonic and presently my wrath abated and was forgotten, and peace came to reign once more in the great halls and courtyards of my house. How does George Bilgere use the myth of Odysseus' return home in The Odyssey in this poem? A) The speaker compares his wife to the frustrations that Odysseus experienced when he returned from the Trojan War. B) The speaker critiques Odysseus for his cruel acts in The Odyssey while praising himself for doing similar acts. C) The speaker believes that his wife is not as appreciative of his efforts as Odysseus' wife was appreciative of his actions. D) The speaker compares his rage upon returning home after a bad day at work to Odysseus' rage upon returning home to find suitors pursuing his wife.
