He's a dictator. 583 01:20:18,041 --> 01:20:23,415 I think it's stupid to change the character of Ulysses. 584 01:20:23,583 --> 01:20:27,249 He's not a modern-day neurotic, 585 01:20:27,416 --> 01:20:33,124 but a simple, clever and robust man. 586 01:20:33,291 --> 01:20:36,249 I find his idea interesting. 587 01:20:36,416 --> 01:20:39,540 It takes Ulysses ten years to return home 588 01:20:39,708 --> 01:20:43,540 because he doesn't really want to return. It's logical. 589 01:20:43,708 --> 01:20:49,790 It's logical, and the illogical borrows from the logical. 590 01:20:49,958 --> 01:20:54,457 Your Corneille said it in his preface to Suréna. 591 01:20:54,625 --> 01:20:59,290 Ulysses doesn't rush home to Ithaca 592 01:20:59,458 --> 01:21:03,374 because he was unhappy with Penelope, 593 01:21:03,541 --> 01:21:08,124 but the trouble started before he went off to war. 594 01:21:14,208 --> 01:21:17,665 He never would've left if he'd been happy. 595 01:21:17,833 --> 01:21:21,332 The Trojan war was his excuse to get away from her. 596 01:21:21,500 --> 01:21:25,499 But he killed her suitors, didn't he? 597 01:21:25,666 --> 01:21:29,957 That can be justified by the fact that, at first, 598 01:21:30,125 --> 01:21:34,332 Ulysses had told Penelope to accept their gifts. 599 01:21:34,500 --> 01:21:38,332 He didn't see the suitors as serious rivals, 600 01:21:38,500 --> 01:21:42,290 and didn't want to cause a scandal by throwing them out. 601 01:21:42,458 --> 01:21:48,999 Knowing Penelope to be faithful, he told her to be nice to the suitors. 602 01:21:55,833 --> 01:22:02,457 I think that's when Penelope, who is a simple woman at heart, 603 01:22:03,625 --> 01:22:06,749 began to despise him. 604 01:22:06,916 --> 01:22:11,915 She found she'd stopped loving Ulysses because of his behaviour, 605 01:22:12,083 --> 01:22:14,540 and she told him so. 606 01:22:14,708 --> 01:22:19,207 Ulysses then realized too late he'd lost Penelope's love 607 01:22:19,375 --> 01:22:23,207 because he'd been overly cautious. 608 01:22:24,250 --> 01:22:29,457 The only way to win her back was to murder the suitors. 609 01:22:29,625 --> 01:22:33,082 Death is no resolution. 610 01:24:07,041 --> 01:24:09,124 Camille! 611 01:25:17,416 --> 01:25:21,499 - What a lovely yellow. - Thanks. 612 01:25:23,833 --> 01:25:26,624 I found this on the boat. 613 01:25:26,791 --> 01:25:30,499 Children shouldn't play with firearms. 614 01:26:18,291 --> 01:26:20,374 Drink? 615 01:26:20,541 --> 01:26:24,582 I was there, outside.
