Odysseus is planning to make the suitors pay for their behavior—but do they all deserve the same fate? What are the advantages and disadvantages of punishing all or some of the suitors?

I do believe that all of the suitors should pay for their behavior because all of them bombarded Odysseu's home and tried to marry his wife. The advantages of punishing all of the suitors is probably the feeling of revenge and satisfying Odysseus's ego. The disadvantage might be the fact that the whole "massacre" may spread through town. This could in fact result in Odysseus being attacked.
I believe that if all the suitors had a part in it and if they all done the same thing, then yes, they all deserve the same fate. But, If they did different things then they should have different fates. Like, If you done something not too bad then your punishment should be less harsh. But, If you done something worse, then, your punishment should be worse than the person who did something not so bad.
Yes. All the suitors deserve the same fate because they all were there to do the same thing and none tried to stop it. Also if he kills all the suitors then no one can go tell that he has killed any of them.
I think that they should all share the same fate. All of the suitors tried to marry Penelope, and all of the suitors fought Odysseus. The disadvantage of kill all of the suitors, is that some of the townsfolk will want revenge.
I do think that the suitors should get what they all had coming for them. The way they went into odysseus house and did not care if he was died or alive. They were just trying to persude his wife penelpoe .The advantage is that their is no more sutiors trying to persude his wife. But then people would look at him as if he was crazy.
To my thoughts the suitors don't all derserve the penalty of death and instead just a minor punishment like a fine or something. Still Odysseus did kill them all, so the advantages are that all the suitors are gone but Odysseus is now charged with murder so another battle shall amerge over this issue.
I don't think they all deserve the same fate, but Antinous got what was coming to him. Some of the others might have deserved to die also, but not all. Some advatages to slaying all the suitors is that he wouldnt have to worry about them again. But on the down side, he has to worry about the suitors families, and homeland people being angry with Odysseus for killing the suitors. This could cause another war between Ithaca and the islands the suitors came from.
I definitely agree with Wren, they didn't all deserve the same punishment, and they could just as well been heavily fined or taxed or something to teach them a lesson.
No all of them dont deserve the same fate.The advantages are him not having to fight the suitors anymore.The disadvantages would be the suitors not helping Odysseus if he needs help.
I believe all of the sitors do deserve to be punished for their behavior f coming into Odysseu's home and trying to marry his wife! Ofocurse there are advanges and disadvantages. One adavantage for example, is the suitors being punished may help Odysseus feel a bit better but on the other hand, a disadvantage is hat if Odysseus punishes the suitors othersmay attack him.
I believe that the suitors shuld be punished for trying to marry Odysseus's wife and thinking that she would betray her loving husband just because that he has been gone for 20 years. Odysseus should punish them all because the suitors were wrong for doing what they did. but on the other hand this may make his town become afraid of him thinking that he would punish any guy whosoever may come near Penelope.
michaela i totally agree with what you said because i would get mad if somene tried to steel my boyfriend so why should Odysseus not get mad at someone trying to steel his wife??
I do think that he had some more options. He could have killed Antinous and taken the offer of the others paying him with wealth. I think that Odysseus's actions were fair by killing all the suitors. The suitors were acting wild in his house.
You can't take the price of 1 for many, is the conflict. Killing one makes others to fight, killing all makes his kingdom weary for alot ot time. Making each one thought about, the suitors. The But this was a case of nothing was unfair and all had to be killed.. :)
All of the suitors did deserve the same fate because none of them stopped each other and said this is wrong. If you punish all of them you won't have to worry about them coming back. If you only punish som the could change and seek revenge.

Since all of the suitors took part in trying to marry odysseus's wife then they all should be punished equaly. This infact does have some disadvantages. The people that know the suitors could turn against him and kill him, but punishing the suitors would make Odysseus feel like he got his revenge.
I agreen completely because the towns people will come after him for punishing the suitors because many of them either know the suitors and want revenge or either they are scared that Odysseus will kill them to if they do not fight.
The suitors should pay for their behavior. Some of the advantages are they wouldn't act in that manner again. Some of the disadvantages are that some of the suitors may ry to kill or harm Odysseus
I do believe that all the suitors deserved the same fate because the should all pay for what they did to Odysseus, because they broke into there house and was trying to steal his wife because they didnt believe that Odysseus would ever return form his journey.
All of the suitors deserve the same fate. They all tried to marry his wife and moved into his home. The advantages of this is that it may make Odysseus feel good because of what they did. And the bad part of this is that the townsmen will find out and want revenge.
Not all of them deserve the same punishment because some we're much ruder an nastier then the other. some of the advantages of punishing all of them is just getting rid f all of them at once and a disadcantage is that the suitors homelands may get mad and war may break out again.
They do deserve the same fate, because all of them were in his house and destroying everything. The advantages is that they would be dead and Odysseus wouldn't have to worry about them anymore. The disadvantage is that he'll probably get in trouble and they won't be able to pay him back for the stuff they destroyed.
yes they all do deserve the same fate. because even though Antinous made them do those things in odysseus's house doesnt mean he made them stay there. the suitor came to his house first and then Antinous took charge. the advantages of killing all or some of the suitors is so none of hte can plan a trap to kill odyssues after he has let them go. for how does odysseus know that all of them will be true to their word if that was to happen?
i think that the ones that had a part in the bombardind of odysseus home then they all deserve thr fate but if all didnt participate then they dont deserve th fate.

I think the suitor's should all be punished the same way because even though they may not of all did the same thing they were part of it.

Sabrina,
Use some evidence from the text and that will make it more clear
I believe all of the sitors do deserve to be punished for their behavior f coming into Odysseu's home and trying to marry his wife!

michaela you are completely right.
but i still dont believe that they all deserve the same fate.
nichole
it wasnt the fact they were trying to "steal" penelope..they wanted the land and everyone[[including penelope]] thought odysseus was dead.

Yes they do deseve the same fate because they ruined Odysseus house and life. But he could get in alot of trouble.
Yes they all may have not planned it but they sure didn't try to stop it! So they all deserve to get the same fate.
Michaela,
I agree wiht you.
Sabrina, i agree with you all suitors deserve the same fate
i disagree wren i think the suitors deseved that fate.
i think that the ones that had a part in the bombardind of odysseus home then they all deserve thr fate but if all didnt participate then they dont deserve th fate.
Jamie, dont you think that they should be punished because they all bombarded Odysseus's home?
