Can You Imagine? | Christian Bible Studies

Beowulf Discussion Questions...

In his treatment of the theme of good versus evil, the poet depicts Grendel as an agent of evil. Discuss the description in lines 85-113 and the references to WYRD in lines 382-84 and 488- 93 as examples of the poet's intermingling of Christian and pagan elements. Why do you think the poem's tone of melancholy pessimism is appropriate?       Discuss at length and specify lines.   If you disagree with others comments feel free to comment respectfully! :)  Be BOLD!! Go forth.....
