Recommended: Christianity in beowulf

Christopher, I have heard your pleas for help and sanctuary and I have decided not to send help. We greatly appreciate what you have done for us in the past, but the events of this voyage were too much. We have received word of what your men have done under your command and it is by far the most horrific thing I have ever heard. You deserve what you get for what goes around comes around. Ferdinand and I will no longer support you or your men. We won’t aid in your escape nor will give you permission to pursue religion to Rome. Any man that forces others to swim into the depths with man-eating beasts for long periods of time without rest is a despicable one at best.

If you somehow manage to escape your captors you will not be welcomed back

  • Response To Beowulf

    681 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Tolkien’s lecture, “Beowulf: The monsters and the Critics,” he argues that Beowulf has been over analyzed for its historical content, and it is not being studied as a piece of art as it should be. He discusses what he perceives the poet of Beowulf intended to do, and why he wrote the poem the way he did. Tolkien’s main proposition, “it was plainly only in the consideration of Beowulf as a poem, with an inherent poetic significance, that any view or conviction can be reached or steadily held” (Tolkien). He evaluates why the author centers the monsters throughout the entire poem, why the poem has a non-harmonic structure, why and how the author fusses together Christianity and Paganism, and how the author uses time to make his fictional poem seem real. He also discusses the overall theme of Beowulf and other assumptions of the text. To support his viewpoints, Tolkien uses quotations and examples from the poem, quotations from other critics, and compares Beowulf to other works of art. Tolkien discusses several statements in interpreting Beowulf as a poem.

  • Argumentative Essay Beowulf

    405 Words  | 1 Pages

    Nobody dared to stop the bravest man in all the land known as Beowulf. Beowulf is the strongest warrior from Geatland. When Beowulf hears about the Danes and Hrothgar’s struggle to keep his men safe, he offers to help. The Danish king, Hrothgar, accepts Beowulf’s request to kill Grendel and his mother. Beowulf proves his strength and becomes famous when he defeats Grendel in a battle using nothing but his bare hands in Herot. He keeps Grendel’s arm as a symbol of his victory. Grendel’s mother looks for revenge, but she is also killed by the brave warrior. Beowulf becomes the King of Geatland after the king’s son, Heardred, is killed. Beowulf rules for 50 years and he is very successful in keeping peace across the land and Geatland becomes very prosperous. Beowulf later dies after a final fight against a dragon. The Geats build a tower strong and tall just as Beowulf requested so that sailors could find it from far and wide. Beowulf perfectly embodies the Germanic heroic ideal.

    In the lecture Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics by J. R. R. Tolkien, he discusses Beowulf through a different aspect. Tolkien argues that the epic poem is infact, overlooked and not seen by the true aspect of the poem.

Tolkien supports his argument by carefully analyzing the text, including literary elements and themes the creator includes in Beowulf.

    Slytherins get a bad wrap. While we did once house several of the greatest villains, some refuse to face the fact that it is not only home to the greatest villains, but the heroes as well. If you do recall, Harry Potter himself is a true Slytherin, but chose Gryffindore himself, because he was influenced by some redheaded poor boy with a cold sandwich and a biased opinion. Also, if you'll recall, Draco Malfoy turned out to be a good guy in the end, and his mother, another Slytherin, saved Harry's life. Harry, the true Slytherin, the chosen one, who saved the life of his enemy. Please tell me, what true Gryffindore did that? The answer: None.
