Pls help :D PH Beowulf pp. 44 - 46
British Literature

“Beowulf and his men arrive at Herot and are called to see the King.”

1. Look carefully at Beowulf’s speech from lines 236 to 284. Below it is divided into sections. For each section, summarize what Beowulf is saying in those lines. Then come up with his reasoning behind saying the things he does in each section, i. e. establish what he is doing or the purpose or effect he is trying to create.

Section
What is he saying? (Paraphrase)
What is he doing? (Purpose and/or effect)

2. Find 3 quotations from Beowulf that demonstrate his belief in fate. Write them here with line numbers. (Note that he also mixes in references to God.)

3. In what manner of combat does Beowulf say that he will defeat Grendel? Why do you think this is the method or that this would make sense for this story?

4. What Anglo-Saxon warrior values does this section demonstrate?
