Heart Of Darkness Good And Evil
1,919 wordsEvery man, or woman -- to be politically and socially acceptable -- has buried, within himself, beneath centuries of societal norms and restrictions, a dark side, a savage side. When a man is taken out of society, and left to create his own norms, he must rediscover those primordial instincts which have sustained his species since the beginning of its existence. Survival of the fittest, physically and intellectually, clique as it may be, is the foundation of these archaic yet prevalent instincts...

Anglo Saxon Grendel Mother
783 wordsBeowulf is a terrific example of a story that portrays the beliefs the Anglo-Saxon people. Their entire culture was based on heroism and loyalty.

Day After Day Dark Green
1,427 words"The sun flared down on the growing corn day after day until a line of brown spread along the edge of each green bayonet, so the earth became pale, pink in the red country and white in the gray country. In the water-cut gullies the earth dusted down in dry little streams. Gophers and ant lions started small avalanches. And as the sharp sun struck day after day, the leaves of the young corn became less stiff and erect; they bent in a curve at first, and then, as the central ribs of strength grew ...

Grendel Mother Minor Character
1,522 wordsI have just completed the reading of Beowulf, which was translated by Burton Raffel. 1) Beowulf is an extremely exciting and fascinating story about a character who lived in medieval Europe. The shocking thing for me about this work was to find out that it is the earliest poem in a modern European language. Beowulf is to the English what Homer and the Odyssey were to the Greeks. Although this is the earliest poem, it is still fun and exciting to read. I didn't believe that a poem which has been ...

Resurgent Lions Afl Football Dawe
512 wordsAmidst the hot pies and potato-chips, innocent monsters and resurgent lions, Dawe effectively illustrates Victorian popular culture in the poem Life-cycle. Generally speaking, the subject matter is associated with Victorian lifestyle, notwithstanding the prevalent reference specifically to AFL football. Humour and good intentions counterbalance sentiments of condescending ridicule. Dawe flippantly suggests that the tides of life will be the tides of the home-teams fortunes. Whilst some may be in...

Fell In Love Greek Mythology

Greek Mythology is very interesting in that it is filled with tales of ironies and adultery, and many conflicts between the gods. But one god popped up in a lot of myths about adultery or murder or disputes with humans. His name was Poseidon. Poseidon stands tall as one of the most infamous gods in Greek mythology. He was a very bold god with quite a temper and...

Beowulf Proves His Bravery Proves His Bravery Fame
377 wordsBeowulf proves his bravery by showing no fear when faced with danger, and it is this that leads him to the much-deserved fame, that is valued by so many men of his time. For the purpose of this argument bravery will be defined as a great display of courage and fearlessness, and fame will be defined as widely known and celebrated. We can clearly see Beowulf's bravery when we take into account his fearlessness. When Beowulf says "I shall not fail" (3) he is demonstrating that he will not only try ...

Extra Ordinary Doesn T
404 wordsA hero is a person that does something extra-ordinary for a positive cause. I believe Beowulf fits this definition for many reasons. First of all, Beowulf is always loyal to his country, and was never upset with anyone for a foolish reason. He also defeats many monsters that have caused great harm, with Grendel being one of his big accomplishment (a big monster that killed 50 people in one night). He is a brave, witty warrior that deserves to be known as a hero. One quality of being a hero is wi...
