Back Round Music

The scene that I have chosen is the scene when Odysseus is speaking to his wife but she doesn't know that it is him. The servant/ housekeeper had just got done washing his feet. She knew that it was him but she promised him that she wouldn't blow his cover. She's telling him how much she misses him, and how she wishes he would come back. Odysseus kept his mouth closed though, so he didn't blow his cover. She told him that if he doesn't come back by tomorrow , that she'd have to remarry to someone else. Odysseus was very devastated.I like this scene because of the way it happened. I cant believe she sat in her husbands face and didn't know that it was him. I understand that he was in a cover , so nobody would be able to recognize him, but for his own wife not to recognize him that's sad. Her not being able to recognize him is also a time indicator , as to how long he's really been gone. This also gave Odysseus a chance to really understand how his wife feels about him. For her to open up her heart to a complete stranger, and it be about him is amazing to him probably. I think this scene is kind of sad for him to sit her and have to listen to his wife say how much she misses him , and cant wait for him to come home. He also has to hear the news , that if he doesn't come back by tomorrow she was going to remarry. That has to be heartbreaking. "Where I Wanna Be"[Verse 1]I said I left my baby girl a message Sayin' I won't be coming home I'd rather be alone She doesn't fully understand me That I'd rather leave than to cheat If she gives me some time I can be the man she needs But there's a lot of lust inside of me And we've been together since our teenage years I really don't mean to hurt her, but I need some time To be alone [Chorus 1]But when you love someone You just don't treat them bad Oh, how I feel so sad Now that I wanna leave She's crying her heart to me How could you let this be? I just need time to see Where I wanna be Where I wanna be... Sweet little dee-do-dee-dee... I don't mean to hurt you, baby, oh, no, no... [Verse 2]Never did I imagine That you would play a major part In a decision that's so hard Do I leave, do I stay, do I go? I think about my life and what matters to me the most Girl, the love that we share is real But in time your heart will heal I'm not saying I'm gone But I have to find what life is like Without you [Chorus 1]Sweet little dee-do-dee-dee... I don't mean to hurt you, baby [Chorus 2 x3]See when you love someone You just don't treat them bad Oh, how I feel so sad Now that I wanna leave She's crying her heart to me How could you let this be? And I just need time to see Where I wanna be Where I wanna be... [ DONELL JONES LYRICS at http://www.azlyrics.com/ ]
