Ulysses
The poem Ulysses by Alfred Tennyson is a dialogue spoken by the character Ulysses,
expressing his boredom of his home land of Ithaca and his desire to continue sailing the sea.
Ulysses has been home for some time and, he realizes being with his family and ruling his
people is not enough for him; he wants more. He knows that he is getting old, so he wants
to travel before his time runs out. Throughout this poem, Ulysses is explaining to the reader
how he cannot contain his thirst for another adventure, and he will never be satisfied.
