In the movie, Calypso's external conflict is her desire to be with Odysseus despite knowing he will eventually leave. She feels trapped by her own power and immortality, longing for human connection.
This conflict is highlighted by:
* Calypso's love for Odysseus: She tries to convince him to stay with her, offering him immortality and eternal happiness.
* Her resentment of Zeus: Calypso blames Zeus for imprisoning her on the island and making her unable to have a normal relationship.
* Her understanding of Odysseus's fate: She acknowledges that Odysseus needs to return to Penelope and his home in Ithaca.
The film depicts Calypso as a more sympathetic character compared to the traditional portrayal, making her an unfortunate victim of fate rather than a villain.
