Character
Calypso's personality in the musical is multifaceted and tragic:
Loneliness and vulnerability: Thousands of years of isolation have left her deeply lonely. She's starved for connection and genuine affection, making her desperately cling to any chance of love.
Passionate and possessive love: When Odysseus washes ashore on Ogygia, she rescues him and nurses him back to health for seven years. Her feelings for him are so strong that she is willing to keep him forever, making him immortal. It is this all-consuming passion that frightens Odysseus, as expressed in the famous line from the song "No Reget": "If you hate me, then I'm sorry my love is too strong for you!"
Wisdom and weariness: Over centuries of imprisonment, she has accumulated vast life experience, but with it came deep bitterness and weariness from the injustice of her punishment. She understands the workings of the world, but no longer believes in the mercy of the gods.
Tragic Villain: Despite holding the hero against his will, she's not a classic antagonist. The audience sees her pain and the reasons behind her actions. She genuinely loves Odysseus and wishes him happiness, but her understanding of that happiness is selfish, shaped by centuries of loneliness.

Although she is capable of cunning and even a certain coldness in her feelings (as revealed when she met the returning Odysseus), her devotion to her husband is unquestionable.
