What is your impression of Telemachus after the first three books of The Odyssey? What does he do in particular that gives you a clear idea of the kin

Telemachus is a boy who is beginning to gain the knowledge needed to become a man. He is completely devoted to his mother and his father's land, but he is too immature and weak to know exactly how to protect his mother and the land from the suitors. He knows this, and therefor is unsure of his abilities.Throughout the book he becomes more mature and sure of himself, so it helps him gain the courage to protect his family. Telemachus is a boy who is tying to figure out how to make his father proud and be loyal to his family, he is just unsure of himself at this time.
