Key Notes
model
The immovable bed built around the olive tree is Jiang's image for Odysseus' heart, home, and love: carefully made, rooted, and unable to be moved.
diagnosis
At the spirit level, Penelope is asking whether the war-hero Odysseus will seek adventure and eternal glory again, and Odysseus answers by saying his heart is rooted at home.
diagnosis
Peasants are loyal to religion because over generations religion becomes tradition, land, family, food, habit, and the felt texture of home.
