In the second section the character of Telemachus is introduced. Ulysses asks him to carry out the diuties of the king because he has the perfect qualities: he has a slow prudence, a mild attitude towards the inhabitants of ithaca and he can keep them under control. Furthermore he is interested in common diuties and he is very careful. Lord A. Tennyson uses Ulysses's voice to express a criticism towards the victorian mentality voiced by the expression "the useful and the good". The reader can understand Telemechus has the opposite attitude of Ulysses who is a romantic character willing to be free from costrains. In the third section Ulysses addresses to his crue and he concentrates his attention to a psicological level. They shared many difficulties, but whatever was the situation they were always ready to face the unknown. Ulysses wants to be free in head and in body, that is he wants to be free from the constrains and the convenctions. He is also aware to be old as well as his crue, but he dowesn't prevent them to go on to travel. They don't want to surrender and are always willing to search for knowledge even if the voyage will be difficult. Only the death will stop them. So they accept their condition and even if time mekes them weak, they are very determined. Lord A. Tennyson decides to adopt the mythical character of Ulysse because in this way he can write thing he could't write directly.
