Telemachus

Towards the end of the story being in Telemachus shoes would be tough. Having no control over anybody and having the suitors going after your own mother. He had no power over the suitors and they all barged in and lived in his house. Having them taunt you, and mock you for just about 20 years. You would probably think he would take action and have them leave. It's even worse when your father is the lord of Ithaca. Although towards the beginning of the end he does find Odysseys his father. He then brings his father to his castle (while he looks like a beggar). Telemachus is in rage and wants to kill them all at once. Odysseus says wise piece of information “Use your anger at the right time, now is not the time.” Later Telemachus fights one of the suitors and backs down. He remembers Odysseus saying not to use his anger towards them now. At the very end Odysseus shoots the arrow through the twelve axes and appears at his present age. He then exchanges word with the suitors. He then now tells Telemachus to go all out on them. They all kill the suitors and it all ends well for Telemachus in the end.
