Answer:

  • Antinous is going to die.
  • The passage that supports this prediction is:  "May Antinous meet his death before his wedding day".

Explanation:

Antinous is Penelope's most violent and selfish suitor. He treats odysseus (disguised as a beggar) very badly, showing all his arrogance and wickedness. Odysseus kills all suitors, and Antinous is the first to die. The death of Antinous is predicted in the phrase:  <em> "May Antinous meet his death before his wedding day".</em>

In these lines, we see that Antinous was rude to Odysseus because he was disguised as a beggar. Everyone, including the suitors, believe this to be a bad action. Odysseus does so as well, and in these lines he reproaches Antinous. He tells us that the beggar is only there out of hunger, and that many men have crossed oceans due to hunger. He also hopes that Antinous dies soon.

The best prediction of what will become of Antinous is that he will probably die first, as Odysseus is planning to kill all the suitors and he has now wished he was dead. The detail that supports this prediction is the statement "<em>if there are Furies pent in the dark to avenge a poor man's wrong, then may Antinous meet his death before his wedding day!</em>"

Amiraneli [1.4K]
The passage lists a few things which would lend towards the idea of him being a monster. First, it says "god's anger bare he." referring, presumably, to the abrahamic god famous for his wrath, showing that Grendel was exhibiting intense rage. Second, it uses the sentence "The monster intended some one of earthmen in the hall-building grand to entrap and make way with" which, while a written a little backwards by today's grammar rules, says that he is planning to take hold of and kidnap some of the men in the hall, something only a monster could do.<span />
