Pride Is Seen Through Telemachos Quest For Pride Father
726 words
Quest for Pride Pride is a central theme
throughout many epics and novels. For any heroic
character to succeed in their quest they must have
a strong sense of inner pride. In many cases the
hero does not already have that pride, but obtains
it through the obstacles set before them. If pride
is not obtained, the hero will fail. In the epic
The Odyssey, Odysseus has already obtained his
sense of inner pride. Therefore, the quest for
inner pride is seen through Telemachos. In the
