Consider Telemachus's speech to Penelope in lines 382-394 and his words to Eumaeus in lines 412-419. How is Telemachus trying to appear before his enemies?

A. they give the reader hope. if the whole book was dark & unhopeful it’d be a little less interesting, little moments make it more interesting to read because then you want to know what happens. if it’s all dark there’s no point in reading if you already know the outcome of it.
