Telemachus

My Impression of Telemachus is a boy, who would do anything to prove to his father and mother that he is anything of a boy. But also by trying to prove that he is mature and now a man, in a sense he is actually proving himself wrong. That kind of act, is nothing more than that, just an act. He also proves himself to still be a boy by stealing one of his father's best warships, he also tries to take command of his household. By trying to prove he's a man by commanding his mother to go up stairs, and then leave without her knowing about it is immature, because if he were the real man of the house he wouldn't be scared of what his mother or father would do to him. So it's a type of irony of Telemachus' behavior.
