What does Ulysses plan to do at the end of the poem?

AGo on another sea voyage

BRetire from his adventures and lead a quiet life

CSettle down in Ithaca and rule as king

DExpand his territory and wage war against enemies

Answer:

Significance of His Decision:

Restless Spirit – Ulysses finds no fulfillment in ruling Ithaca and longs for adventure.
Symbolism of the Sea – The sea represents exploration, knowledge, and the pursuit of meaning, even in old age.
Contrast with Telemachus – Ulysses entrusts his son with the governance of Ithaca, believing he is better suited for a stable and dutiful life.
Unfinished Journey – Rather than settling into old age, Ulysses chooses to push forward, embodying the heroic ideal of endless striving.
