Penelope In Homer’s Odyssey, Odysseus’s wife Penelope must ward off suitors from other Greek kingdoms (the Achaeans) as she waits for her husband’s return after decades of absence. This adaptation of the Odyssey explains Penelope’s strategy.


1 One of the suitors complained to Penelope’s son about her long delay in agreeing to remarry.


2 "The trouble is not with the Achaean wooers, but in your own mother, for she is the craftiest of women. For it is now the third year, and the fourth is fast going by, since she began to deceive us. She gives hope to all, and makes promises to every man, and sends them messages, but her mind is set on other things. And she has devised in her heart this trick besides; she set up in her halls a mighty loom and told us, ‘You princely youths, my wooers, now that the goodly Odysseus is dead, wait patiently, however eager you are, until I finish this funeral robe I am weaving for my father-in-law Laertes, for the day when he dies. This way no-one shall blame me if he lies without a shroud. ’


3 "So she spoke, and our hearts agreed. So then in the daytime she would weave the robe, and in the night unravel it, in the dim light of torches. Thus for the space of three years she hid the thing by craft and deceived the Achaeans; but when the fourth year arrived and the seasons came round, then at the last one of her women who knew all declared it, and we found her unraveling the splendid robe. Thus she was forced to finish it against her will. "


Amoretti XXIII by Edmund Spenser


Penelope for her Ulysses’ sake, Devised a web her wooers to deceive; In which the work that she all day did make The same at night she did again unreave


Such subtle craft my Damsel doth conceive, Th’importune suit of my desire to shun: For all that I in many days do weave, In one short hour I find by her undone. So when I think to end that I begun, I must begin and never bring to end: For with one look she spills that long I spun, And with one word my whole year’s work doth rend. Such labour like the spider’s web I find, Whose fruitless work is broken with least wind.


Describe the ways in which the poem "Amoretti XXIII" uses and transforms the Greek story of Penelope, using specific details from both texts

Answer:

The poem "Amoretti XXIII" refers to the story of Penelope, as told in The Odyssey. In The Odyssey, Penelope is Ulysses' wife. Although Ulysses is gone for twenty years, Penelope never stops loving him, and always remained faithful to him. To avoid giving in to the pressure of remarrying, she states that she will only remarry once she is finished with her weaving. However, she weaves during the day and unweaves at night to make them wait longer.

In "Amoretti XXIII," Spencer refers to this story. However, instead of using the story as a symbol of enduring love that succeeds, he uses it as a metaphor to introduce his story of less successful love. Spencer compares himself to Penelope and tells us that he weaves all day to achieve love. However, his beloved unweave his efforts for him ("Th’ importune suit of my desire to shonne:/For all that I in many days doo weave,/In one short hour I find by her undone"). This implies that Spencer's love is not reciprocated, which is a different take on Penelope's story. Spenser's situation leaves him heartbroken, and he tells us that his efforts are no more resistant or successful than spider webs that are destroyed by the wind ("Such labor like the Spyders web I find,/Whose fruitless work is broken with least wynd").

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud-

[1] I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5] Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10] Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
[15] A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
[20] In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Calypso Borealis-

[1] After earning a few dollars working on my brother-in law's farm near Portage [Wisconsin], I set off on the first of my long lonely excursions, botanising in glorious freedom around the Great Lakes and wandering through innumerable tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps, and forests of maple, basswood, ash, elm, balsam, fir, pine, spruce, hemlock, rejoicing in their bound wealth and strength and beauty, climbing the trees, revelling in their flowers and fruit like bees in beds of goldenrods, glorying in the fresh cool beauty and charm of the bog and meadow heathworts, grasses, carices, ferns, mosses, liverworts displayed in boundless profusion.
[2] The rarest and most beautiful of the flowering plants I discovered on this first grand excursion was Calypso borealis (the Hider of the North). I had been fording streams more and more difficult to cross and wading bogs and swamps that seemed more and more extensive and more difficult to force one's way through. Entering one of these great tamarac and arbor-vitae swamps one morning, holding a general though very crooked course by compass, struggling through tangled drooping branches and over and under broad heaps of fallen trees, I began to fear that I would not be able to reach dry ground before dark, and therefore would have to pass the night in the swamp and began, faint and hungry, to plan a nest of branches on one of the largest trees or windfalls like a monkey's nest, or eagle's, or Indian's in the flooded forests of the Orinoco described by Humboldt.
[3] But when the sun was getting low and everything seemed most bewildering and discouraging, I found beautiful Calypso on the mossy bank of a stream, growing not in the ground but on a bed of yellow mosses in which its small white bulb had found a soft nest and from which its one leaf and one flower sprung. The flower was white and made the impression of the utmost simple purity like a snowflower. No other bloom was near it, for the bog a short distance below the surface was still frozen, and the water was ice cold. It seemed the most spiritual of all the flower people I had ever met. I sat down beside it and fairly cried for joy…
[6] Oftentimes I had to sleep without blankets, and sometimes without supper, but usually I had no great difficulty in finding a loaf of bread here and there at the houses of the farmer settlers in the widely scattered clearings. With one of these large backwoods loaves I was able to wander many a long wild fertile mile in the forests and bogs, free as the winds, gathering plants, and glorying in God's abounding inexhaustible spiritual beauty bread. Storms, thunderclouds, winds in the woods—were welcomed as friends.
