There are several ways to proceed with this. One such way is to explain how the protagonist can be seen as both wise and foolish, revealing that human actions are always multi- dimensional and complex. Perhaps, a part of this could be seen as reflective of one's point of view. For example, to Poseidon, Odysseus' actions with the cyclops are foolish and filled with hubris. Yet, in his own mind, he sees his actions as wise and filled with a sense of guile. In analyzing his actions with Circe, one might say that he acted in the interests of his family in leaving her, while to her point of view, he acted quite selfishly. I think that much in your work can be driven by the fact that making judgment calls on his behavior is highly determinant on context and point of view, highlighting the intricate nature of human action and freedom.
