From the publication of East of Eden to today the rights and empowerment of women have escalated exponentially.

When Odysseus realized this he yelled to his men, “All hands aboard;/ come, clear the beach and no one taste/ the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home” (Homer 103-105). One of the traits of an epic hero is being a great leader. In this quote, Odysseus shows his leadership by getting his men back on board the ships and leaving.
Odysseus displays multiple examples of an archetype in Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey.

In this way Hyde’s physical appearance reflects the devil archetype as grotesque.
