Odyssey: Book 23, Great routing tone: The tone at the beginning of the book is very crazy, initially Eurycleia rushed across the corridor to the Penelope's room and told her good news. The old lady told Penelope that Odysseus returned to Ithaca's house. Initially Penelope could not believe it, but when she was comforted, she cried out tears of joy. Then the sound will be quiet and even a bit harsher. When Penelope personally saw Odysseus, she seems to have shown no emotion at all.
The tone of Odyssey has changed. At first there was a feeling of imminent fate, and the boat was excited when it passed the siren island. Tone at the end of the aisle reassures crews safely crossing the island. Odysseus caused fear and an imminent disaster, and he is blocking the crew's ears. He works hard, and the audience think things are going to happen. When the ship approached the police island, excitement and anger continued. Odysseus got excited when he heard "noisy voice" but became anxious, but he soon felt angry when he learned that he was unable to talk because he was detained. The last tone of the channel is safe. As they pass by the island, they are safe against a vicious siren so crews quickly unwax and unlock their captains. Regrettance of Atwood's poetry is disappointing.
In addition to the unique tone and viewpoint, both Odyssey and "Song" use unique terms. When drawing a siren, the Odyssey contains more images and descriptive words. Their voice is expressed as "a voice flowing out of the lips". The choice of Homer is soft and fluid. When Odysseus heard that song, "Hearts heart swayed longer" "At siren's song" Atwood emphasized the power of siren with contrasting words. "I do not like it here, the island seems mysterious like a picture, and furthermore he tells the reader that he or she is unique, but in the last line it is written like this" Both are effective. In Atwood's poem, siren is confused and gently painted through these contrasting discourses.
