In the end, still under the spell of fairy magic and therefore not seeing with true eyes, he seems a bit imbecilic laughing at the acted "lovers" in the play. He doesn't realize it, but he is in a play of his own. Likewise, as with the other characters, what happens to him is far more interesting than the sort of character he is.

Circe said to Odysseus, "Then come follow me… in the Magic House of Circe" (Homer923). Although he was warned about Circe, he still went back and got his men to also follow his mistake.
