Circe, as a goddess, doesn’t scar—she doesn’t get to see how her prior failures affect her body, even though she knows that they affect her character. She momentarily considers telling Odysseus about her past but is worried that revealing her mistakes would make her ugly and undesirable to Odysseus, which reveals how society only values women for their sexuality and not for their character. Additionally, Circe doesn’t fully trust Odysseus; she knows that he’s a wily man who would nevertheless use her weaknesses for his own advantage, regardless of the kindness he’s shown her. Her prior experiences with men have taught her that they will use women to get what they want. In this way, her jadedness as an immortal prevents her from developing a deep and fulfilling relationship.
