Questions A and B I found quite easy because our teacher had already made us do a practice on that same extract. For B, I even got to mention bathos which I had only learned about a couple of days ago XD
On C, I talked about the prophecy of Teiresias and Circe, which shows the poor leadership of Odysseus as he does not tell the suitors the exact details of the prophecy, just tells them not to eat the cattle. Then I said Odysseus' triumph over the suitors was predestined, because of the discussion at the start of the poem and Athene's help throughout, their omnipotence makes his success certain, not sure about the point I made, I said that it demonstrated the importance of endurance through suffering because the end is already determined, so his suffering along the way helps show his arete. Then I mentioned the omens interpreted from bird watching, referring to a nobleman in Ithaca and later on, Helen, saying that Odysseus will return and kill the suitors, which is proleptic and thus builds anticipation. I barely quoted at all for that question :/
I did question 3 and it was great! Arguments against the view he only is concerned for himself, Odysseus has the emotions of other people projected onto him, suggesting he is capable of empathy (him swimming to Scherie and his relief being compared to that of a child whose father becomes well after a long period of sickness, perhaps a ref to Telemachus and that Odysseus is made happy with the thought that Tele will have a father again) and when Demodocus sings about the Trojan war and Ody's grief is compared to that of a woman weeping over the body of her husband who died at war, maybe showing his guilt at the suffering he caused to the Trojan's and thus showing he has concern for others. My next point was something about the unity and genuine love present in marriage which would suggest he does have concern for his wife, I actually quoted in this paragraph lol.
Arguments against the view were essentially the same thing, one being his superfluous attempts at showing arete with his lying that I argued were not really necessary and then his indulging of things like Circe rather than returning home, both of these things just prolonging the suffering of his family.
