Omeros

I was hard to keep up in Omeros. I thought Philoctete was interesting. He has this never healing wound that he sees as a blessing. He got it from a rusted anchor, but sees it as much more. How odd. He is almost in despair but due to it reminding him of his enslaved ancestors. This wound brings him great suffering and even contemplates cutting it off. Does he still see it as a blessing?

I commented on Ray's.
