In my opinion, the part where in Odysseus killed the suitors was the most important part in "Death at the palace" because it was the twisting point in the chapter. If Odysseus didn't kill those suitors, their wouldn't even be a part where in Odysseus got a chance to prove himself to Penelope that he really was Odysseus. Another reason i believe this is the most important is that because it showed to us the love odysseus has for Penelope as well. If there isn't this part, where in Odysseus killed down all the suitors, there wouldn't even be a part where in both of them gets to live happily ever after. Who knows if in the end Penelope gets to marry one of the suitors? And last but not least, this was the most exciting part in the chapter as well. As a conclusion, the part where in Odysseus killed all the suitors was the most important part in the chapter.

Every part is important, it all cause something which will effect how the story goes in the future. Since I have the do this homework thing, I believe one of the important parts was when Odysseus killed all the suitors. Not only it is the climax of the story (according to the book), it ended one of his major problems. It is not his last problem because the plot when Penelope doesn’t believe that Odysseus is real is also a problem. Ending the suitors’ lives does stop outsider’s conflict on the family. If this didn’t happen, the ending will be different. But again, if the other plot ended differently, the ending of the epics will be different. The reason I pick this part is also because the suitors had annoyed Penelope for a long time, killing them stop Penelope’s major problems (beside Odysseus not coming back), it also helps her mental problem. Long term stress is not good for your health, and Penelope could have a shorter life, pretty important. -*-

I think the most most important part is when Penelopy told Eurycleia to move the bed that was in Penelopy house. I think this is the most important part of the story becuz this is how Penelopy figured out Odysseus was real Odysseus. The reason why Penelopy need to prove that is Oddysesus infront of him real becuz there were many suitor who wanted her. Oddyseus was gone for more than 10 years is normal to test him. After they found out his true face they live happily together.

I think the most important part was the part when Penelope asked Eurycleia to move the bed. This part is important for me because this part made me wonder if it was the real Odysseus or it's a god who wanted to trick Penelope. I choose this part because it's kinda exciting to know if Odysseus had come back to meet his family or he's gone for forever...Penelope know it was real Odysseus by moving the bed and made Odysseus angry. Because under the bed, there were a lil secret that only two of them knows, and no one else. And this part decide the ending. Whether its a sad sad ending (Penelope marry someone else and Odysseus gone forever) or a happy happy ending (Odysseus come back home, save his wife, and live happily forever).
*END* XDD

In my opinion, I think the most important part was when Odysseus killing all of the suitors. It’s the most important part and it’s also the most exciting part because Odysseus is killing all the bad guys who wanted Penelope, wife of Odysseus. I think it’s important because if Odysseus did not kill them, Penelope might be married to one of the suitors. That’s because if there was someone who could pull the bow by cheating then, Penelope is other’s wife and Odysseus could not come home and safe Penelope and his home too. If Odysseus can’t save his own wife and home then the ending of the story will be totally different and it’s going to change in to a tragedy, which is not a ending that all of us wanted. So, since Odysseus came back just on time, he saved everything back and it’s a happy ending.

In my opinion, the part where Odysseus went to Trojan War is the most important part. Because without Odysseus going to the Trojan War, there will be no story called the Odysseys. Odysseus surviving in the Trojan War is an important thing too. Because if Odysseus didn’t survive the Trojan War, the story will be cut to only the suitor incident, and the plot at the suitor incident will change too. This is why I think that Odysseus going to the war and survive is the most important part.

In my opinion, the most important scene was the part where Odysseus killing all the suitors. The suitors had taken Odysseus’ palace and forced Penelope to marry one of them. This was the most important scene because this was the climax of the story, and I think it was the most exciting part. This plot changed the situation, if Odysseus did not kill the suitors, Penelope would be married to other man and Odysseus can no longer stay in his home. However, Odysseus had solved his last conflict by killing all the suitors. He saved Penelope and his home, and this gave the story a happy ending.

I think the most important part was when Odysseus killed all the suitors. It's the most exciting part compared to the others in "Death in the Palace". This part shows that there's no more problems. However, this part also shows that he breaks the law of hosibility because he killed all the suitors.

hi! in my opinion the most important part is where Penelope heard 'bout Odysseus and she wanted to test him if he's really Odysseus or a god playing trick on her. in my opinion that is the most important part 'cuz Penelope wanted to challenge if god is playing trick on her. And to believe that man is really Odysseus. i think this part is the most exciting part. 'cuz she uses one test to challenge and to see if he is Odysseus!

I think, the most important part is when Penelope told Eurycleia to move Odysseus' bed to test Odysseus because I think, it is exciting to konw the true like when watch Conan.
Penenlope thought that a god playing trick on her, so she wanted to test Odysseus.

I think the most important part is the part where Odysseus killed the suitors. The suitors were the problem in Ithica. The suitors were the problem in Ithica because the suitors wanted Penelope to marry one of them. Also some of the suitors wanted to kill Telemachus. If the suitors were not dead, the suitors may cause a lot of problem, such as Telemachus would die or Penelope would marry one of them (suitors) and the suitor would be the king of Ithica .Odysseus killed all the suitors and it made the problem solve, so that's why this is the most important part to me.

I think the most important part was when Odysseus killed all the suitors in “Death at the Palace”. It is a very exciting part that has vivid scenes of the killing. It states the end of troubles in Odysseus’ household. Odysseus killing all the suitors ended the problems that Penelope had to face with when Odysseus wasn’t there. Problems such as the suitors forcing her to marry one of them, or they wouldn’t leave. Odysseus'actions mean that Penelope will no longer have to be forced into marriage, and she and Odysseus could live happily ever after.

In my opinion, the most important part was the part when Odysseus killed the suitors. It's one of the most exciting parts. It symbolized the end of all the problems. The whole of part two has been about problems at home, mainly focusing on the suitors. In "Death at the Palace", all of the suitors were killed. This means there were no more problems left. Also, it's labeled as the climax of the story. That already states that it's the most important scene or part of the whole epic. This is why I think it was the most important part.
