Description
Margaret Atwood - The Penelopiad
The novel "Penelopiad" (2005) is a feminist retelling of the classic literary masterpiece, "The Odyssey," with a focus on Penelope, the wife waiting for her husband's return for twenty years. Atwood shifts the focus from Odysseus' journey to Penelope's story and the twelve maids who were executed upon his return. The maids play a central role in the novel, serving as a Greek chorus and highlighting the tragedy of their fate. "Penelopiad" is a postmodern work that combines tragic and comedic elements, incorporating both prose and verse. Atwood's retelling of "The Odyssey" offers a new perspective on this ancient tale, emphasizing the experiences of the women in the story.
