Drummle much to Pip’s dismay. Teiresias appears in the novel of “The Odyssey” while Odysseus visits the Kingdom of the Dead. This is a place where Odysseus meets up with many important souls of the afterlife. Before Teiresias’ death, he had gone from man to woman after seeing two snakes copulating. Because of this, he was able to experience sex from a man’s point of view and also a woman’s. He shared his experience with both Zeus and his sister’s wife, Vera and decided that a woman enjoyed sex more. Vera was outraged by his outcome and cursed Teiresias to be blind. Zeus, being more powerful, although unable to retract the curse, gave him extraordinary visionary powers. When Odysseus meets up with the soul of Teiresias in the Kingdom of the Dead, Teiresias gives Odysseus some very important insight on his future. Odysseus learned from Teiresias that his journey would be hard and dangerous. He learned that Poseidon was furious because Odysseus had blinded his son, therefore Poseidon would make the journey to Ithaca a difficult one. Teiresias warned him to control himself and his companions while sailing to Helios. This would ensure everyone a safe return home. However, if trouble were made in Helios, Odysseus would return home late and unknown to his loved ones. Teiresias played an important role in providing help for Odysseus. He offered Odysseus insight that was vital for a safe return home.Wemmick is the chief clerk for Jaggers in the novel, “Great Expectations”. He appears in the novel after Pip arrives in London.
