I have chosen for comparison the Odyssey‚ The Divine Comedy‚ and Paradise Lost. The Odyssey‚ attributed to Homer is about Odysseus‚ the king of Ithaca‚ who sailed with his army to take part in war against Troy. After ten years of war‚ victory is declared and the armies of Odysseus have sailed for home. As

Ironically for a comedy‚ suffering and cruelty lie at the heart of the play‚ how far do you agree with this view? Despite the comical premise of Twelfth Night (TN) there is an underlying vein of cruelty and suffering that runs throughout the play.
