Fights For The Right Reasons Idea Of Hubris Lines
607 words
Websters dictionary defines a hero as one greatly
regarded for his achievements or qualities. This
is only a rough definition, and applies only
somewhat to Beowulf. A hero is usually the main
character; he is, according to Mr. Re, a man who
fights for the right reasons, usually confident
and possessed of superhuman abilities, at least as
it applies to Beowulf's time period. Less common
in that period in time is the idea of hubris, a
fatal weakness on the part of every hero. Beowulf

Confucianism Mencius vs Hsun Tzu Is man naturally

the other, and often these beliefs tend to create
a certain world-view which dictates much of the
faith. However, in some cases such as the one I

the 1960 s, it merely sublimated itself into our

Make Him Acceptable Offering A Sacrifice Cain

Cain and Abel Why was Abel s offer accepted and
Cain s offer rejected? One of the questions that
came to my mind when I read the story of Cain and
Abel was why God accepted Abel s offer but did not
accept Cain s offer. The text itself does not tell
us why Abel s offering is more palatable to the
Lord than Cain s offering. Cain, as a farmer,
brings to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the
ground, a vegetable offering. Cain could have done
better, but he chose not to for some reason. I
