By remaining loyal to someone while battling your own problems, your motivation for success is amplified by the fact that you don't want to disappoint your significant other, and he strives to achieve what he must to succeed. With Odysseus, he remains faithful to his wife, Penelope, even though there are twenty years and thousands of miles between them; however, when Odysseus encounters one of his many obstacles, he has the willpower to succeed because he wants to be home with his wife. For example, after spending seven intimate years with the brilliant goddess Calypso, Odysseus still loves his wife, and it is the thought of Penelope that keeps him going. By not returning home to Ithaca, Odysseus would not only disappoint Penelope, but devastate her; so Ulysses wants to go home! Similarly in "The Cave", there is a repeated phrase where the speaker speaks to the main character and says, "And I won't let you suffocate, with that noose around your neck..." In this case, with Thank You to the speaker's loyalty, the main character is given support and motivation that allows him to continue the fight for an enlightened life. The speaker's loyalty is demonstrated by the fact that he supports the main character no matter what negative situation that person is in, and that the speaker will not let the person fail even if the main character wants to give up.
