Telemachus: Becoming A Man In The Odyssey, one of the most apparent themes revolved around Telemachus' maturity. The epic started off with Telemachus as a young and defenseless boy in need of a father's guidance to undergo his transformation into a man. However, it was made clear in "Book II," when the process of maturation began, that the absence of Odysseus in Telemachus' life did not present itself as an impossible obstacle that would keep Telemachus from making the change. Although the transformation of manhood occurred throughout the epic, the formation of Odysseus and Telemachus' relationship towards the end of the epic finally helped Telemachus enter the world of true manhood as well as closure and happiness. By "Book II," the epic showed the reader the affects of Odysseus' absence in Telemachus' life.
The first chapter of The Odyssey is called “A Goddess Intervenes,” and rightfully so. At the beginning of the story, young Telemakhos is described as “a boy, daydreaming,” when Athena approaches him (Homer, 1.145-146). Telemakhos is most definitely just a boy; he only wishes that his father would come back and save him and his mother from the despicable suitors. Telemakhos knows that by himself, he doesn’t have the power to change the course of action. Athena, goddess of wisdom and justice, inspires him to confront the suitors and speak his mind.
After Telemakos went on the journey to find his father and helped him fight the suitors, he showed his courageous character. Throughout The Odyssey, Telemakos is a developing character; he begins as a shy and timid young boy, but grows into a very courageous man like his father Odysseus. Odysseus leaves for Troy when Telemakos is an infant. Therefore, Telemakos never had a true father figure to look up to throughout his childhood. However, he did take care of his father’s estate and his mother while Odysseus was gone, but because his mother raised him he wasn’t very outgoing.

This ultimately marks the nearing end of his journey in his tale of reclaiming a sense of freedom and power over his life. Furthermore, director Elia Kazan directly mirrors this quote from his past with his testimony of “naming names” to The House of Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), with him being glad that he did the right thing and has no regrets of it. Through the fictional representation of Terry Malloy, Elia Kazan has justified his actions through the film. On the Waterfront ultimately follows the story of a young man in his fight for power over his own life. Terry is initially seen as a “bum” in the commencement of the film, but as it progresses, his character changes and evolves through self motivation, help and support from Father Barry and Edie Doyle paving him the way, hence Terry is successful in claiming back power over his own life and also, gaining a sense of freedom from
