Abstract

The paper reflects the concept of uncovering concealed facets of Penelope’s character or narrative, implying a more profound examination and reworking of the tale. Unlike more traditional interpretations, this one offers a fresh perspective and shed light on aspects that were previously hidden or ignored. This implies delving further into the tale and reinterpreting it by revealing hidden aspects of Penelope’s character or narrative. From a feminist perspective, this study analyses Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad’s historical framework. By reimagining the most famous narrative in Western literature, The Penelopiad goes beyond narrative parallelism by giving the mythological past a crucial dimension that illuminates the present.
