I think that the symbolism of the bow is destruction. Minerva puts in Penelope's head to give the suitors the bow so they destroy each other and the symbolism of destruction is showed. The suitors will all want the power of the bow and will do anything to get it and will inevitably destroy each other because of the bow. I also think the symbolism of the bed means peace and that everything is over and odysseys journey is finally at the end and he could just relax just as Ulysses and everyone else on jersey.
Thoughts
I think that this book was really good and Odysseus journey was really interesting and he met a lot of people and the whole book was about of journey of his life and the ups and downs that he had. The end of the book ended in a peaceful manner between him and minerva and the two parties.
