Plot:
Exposition: Penelope is a wife of Odysseus, Penelope and Odysseus love each other,penelope is a faithfull wife. Penelope qouting her self saying" now that Im dead, I know everything" penelope then goes on to say that this wish did not come true, at least not totally. Death, Penelope thinks, Despite the knowledge it does bring is not worth the cost She even says that she would rather not know some of the things she has learned.
Rising action -Penelope begins to describe the afterlife, stating that everyone arrives to the underworld in a sack “full of words—words you’ve spoken, words you’ve heard, words that have been said about you.” Penelope notes that her own sack was full of words about her husband, and that some people say that her husband made a fool of her and got away with everything.
Climax -Odysseus’ account, Penelope thinks, was always so plausible, and many people believed his account of things while taking the mythology with a grain of salt. Penelope admits that even she believed him often, thinking that he would not lie to her since she was such a loyal wife.
Falling action-Bitterly, Penelope thinks that all she amounted to was a “stick used to beat other women with,” since all the storytellers considered her the model of a faithful wife. Penelope wanted to scream at other women and tell them not to be like her. Penelope admits that she always knew that Odysseus was tricky, but that she pretended not to see that side of him. Instead, she kept her doubts to herself because she wanted happy endings.
Denouement-Now, though, Penelope realizes that lots of people were mocking her in secret. They told stories about her that Penelope calls “scandalous gossip,” but that she says will only make her seem guilty if she denies them.
Theme:
- "A Low Art" teaches me as a female to Take a stand up for something iknow right. Being a faithful and loyal to our love.

Application (impact) of the literature to the present generation (10 sentences):
- In our present generation there are many couples that did'nt stand up there relationship because lossing trust and an act of impatience. In this literature it show how the wife being loyal to her husband a faithful wife even her husband is far away from her and many years that they did'nt see each other and her husband is a liar. She did not give up her love, even there are so many temptation that she encounter she ignor it. So in present generation i think there is also like penelope. A loyal and stick to one but there is also different and opposite of penelope there are casses that a wife can cheat to there husband, so i believe that there are so many people inspired to this literature.
