Please give a review of the novel Circe, by Madeline Miller. Use two sources, one being the book itself and the second the poem, The Odyssey, translated by Emily Wilson.
Please touch on the below points:
1. How successful is Miller in adapting material from the Odyssey?
2. If Miller changes materials regarding the original myth, why and how does she do so? What purpose does it serve?
3. Focus primarily on the characterization of Circe
4. To a lesser degree, some other examples of topics to discuss in the paper: Circes relationship with the gods and/or humans; the changing characterization of Odysseus; the characterization of minor characters like Hermes, Pasiphae, or Jason; the nature of the gods in general as portrayed in the novel; the novels sense of time. You might also consider whether Millers understanding of Circe, Odysseus, and the Odyssey impacts how you understand those characters and the ancient text.
