how does the dialogue between penelope and the beggar best demonstrate irony?
the beggar has described penelope in flattering tones, however, if she had recognized that the beggar was odyseus, by her words

while the conditions of their meeting as strangers would ordinarily cause each to be cautious, their words show a courtesy toward
one another implying that they ironically covet their reputations above beauty
the dialogue begins with a common exchange between a host and a guest however, the conversation soon becomes an ironic
opportunity for the husband and wife to share their common purpose in living lives of unity and fidelity
