            The king and a leader Odysseus has displays three good qualities throw out the movie The Odyssey. Throw the good and the bad he showed theses quality’s. The first quality is intelligent, because of his wits. The second courage, because of his will to keep going no matter what the object got in his way. The third would be conning in the story he showed this with his disguises. Throw out this essay I will farther explain his qualities.
            The first quality that Odysseus shows is intelligent. He shows this when he built the boat to get away from Calypso island. This is shown in the movie The Odyssey. He also showed this quality by waiting to see his wife. He waited, because he knew the suitors wouldn’t stop at anything to marry Penelope. You can infer this about the suitor throw the movie The Odyssey and in the play. You can also site him waiting to see his wife in the movie around 2.24:09. Odysseus shows intelligent when he made the Trojan horse to trick the warriors to lead them inside. So Odysseus and his man can attack and win the war. You can site this in the movie around 23:02.
            Courage is the second quality shown by Odysseus. He showed this quality by fighting in the Trojan War. You can find this in the movie around 14:25. He also showed this quality by going to hell alone without his crew. He did this, because he didn’t want anyone else to get hurt. Around 1:22:54 is where u can find this event. Before this happened he fought the Cyclops. This happened around 37:26.

His third and final quality is how he is conning. He showed the quality multiple times. When he made the Trojan horse he tricked the troy’s to take him and his man in their walls. This is sighted in the move at 20:21. The second time he showed this quality is when he ate the poison to trick and surprise the witch. The honey was expose to change him into an animal, but the poison so it didn’t affect him. This happened at 1:04:36. The other time he showed this was when he told his son to not use his angry until the right time. When Telemacus Odysseus son let his anger go him, and his father kill all the suitors.
