Dear Friends,<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This summer\u2019s blockbuster movie \u2018The Odyssey\u2019 was Christopher Nolan\u2019s presentation, or interpretation, of Homer\u2019s 8th<\/sup> Century BC epic poem of the same name. In addition to being one of the highest grossing films of all time<\/a>, it also managed something remarkable, it got people not only talking about the original story but even reading it. \u00a0<\/p>\n

While the plot adheres closely to the original storyline \u2013 the Trojan War and horse, the cyclops, Circe the witch, the Sirens, and so on \u2013 the debate about the movie\u2019s fidelity to the original poem centers more on the essence of the story.\u00a0 Did Nolan emasculate the ancient male hero in favor of an insecure and conflicted post-modern man in need of therapy? Did Odysseus\u2019 confession of guilt for the transgressions of the war betray the very essence of the epic hero? \u00a0In the poem Odysseus has no such remorse. In the movie, he believes that in the sacking of Troy they violated all that was sacred. On this point, the movie is clearly different. Is Nolan\u2019s adaptation even plausible? Could Odysseus have had moral qualms about the war?<\/p>\n

I would argue that Nolan\u2019s adaptation of the original story touches upon a theme that the original does not: Man\u2019s conscience speaks to him of absolute moral truths which can transcend his own culture. Let\u2019s consider this in three points, culture, conscience, and when the two come into conflict.<\/p>\n

We are clearly influenced by the culture in which we live. What we think about marriage, family, God [or gods], religion, justice, governance, and war will all be deeply ingrained from the society around us. Odysseus, the hero of Homer\u2019s poem, represents the virtues valued by the Greeks of that epoch. \u00a0He is praised for his courage, fidelity, leadership, and strength \u2013 virtues we as contemporary Americans can appreciate. However, Odysseus is also praised for his cunning and ability to deceive others when helpful to his cause; and his infidelities with Calypso and Circe are overlooked while the fidelity of Penelope, his wife, is praised. Such \u2018virtues\u2019 sit less well with us. In that vein, when Odysseus of the poem has few qualms about the destruction of Troy, it is consistent with the values of his culture.<\/p>\n

Nolan\u2019s insertion of Odysseus\u2019 guilt for his role in Troy\u2019s downfall introduces the elements of interiority and individual conscience absent from the original story. While issues of right and wrong were addressed in classical literature, the person\u2019s interior world usually was not. That changed with St. Augustine\u2019s \u2018Confessions\u2019 – his introspective autobiography.[i]<\/a> In the movie Odysseus is struggling with what he did in Troy as a betrayal of all of their sacred norms.\u00a0 He reveals this to Penelope before she knows it\u2019s him who is speaking. Number 1776 of the Catechism states,<\/p>\n

\u201cDeep within his conscience man discovers a law which he has not laid upon himself but which he must obey. Its voice, ever calling him to love and to do what is good and to avoid evil \u2026 For man has in his heart a law inscribed by God…. His conscience is man\u2019s most secret core and his sanctuary. There he is alone with God whose voice echoes in his depths.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oddyseus, like all of us, struggles to hear and obey that voice. It is a voice that cannot fully be eradicated by error or sin.[ii]<\/a> It is at least plausible that guilt about the war could have plagued our hero. Wrestling to obey one\u2019s conscience is not a sign of weakness, it is what separates the villain from the hero.<\/p>\n

The objection to such guilt declares that it is anachronistic and not in the poem. \u00a0Having been a son of his culture, Odysseus would not have felt guilt for the deception that led to the sacking Troy. Rather, the Trojans committed evil and needed to pay.[iii]<\/a>The Greeks were the good guys and would have felt vindicated in their actions. That is likely true. However, the question is whether the adaptation is even plausible<\/em>. The difference between Homer\u2019s Odysseus and Nolan\u2019s highlights the issue of whether an individual\u2019s conscience can reject the commonly held views of his culture. The answer is clearly \u2018yes.\u2019 Were that not the case, then we could never have conscientious objectors or reformers that decried the injustices of their times.<\/p>\n

All people from every epoch and culture are made in the image and likeness of God, whether they know it or not. All have a conscience ordered towards moral truth, whether they acknowledge it or not. While a culture can either hinder or help man discover and live according to that moral truth, it cannot be eradicated from man\u2019s heart all together. In many heroic cases such as William Wilberforce, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the individual\u2019s conviction was strong enough to turn society around.<\/p>\n

Did Odysseus feel guilty for the war? We do not know, but we can thank Nolan for making us talk about culture, guilt, and conscience.<\/p>\n
