Epic Poem Beowulf Twenty Four Hours
623 words
Did Beowulf truly obtain the qualities of an epic
hero? In the epic poem Beowulf, Beowulf's
character traits prove to be the depiction of an
epic hero. Beowulf's traits of boastfulness,
bravery and amazing strength are the proof of his
heroism. Beowulf's boastfulness may not be the
most convincing heroic trait, but it certainly was
important to the people of his time. Beowulf
boasted to Unferth to clarify Unferth's
misunderstanding of a swimming event between
Beowulf and Breca, in which they swa...

Win In A Fair Fight Win In A Fair Godzilla
507 words
Cinematic scholars have argued for decades over
which is this biggest, meanest, and coolest
monster of all time. Given the choice of Godzilla
or Mechagodzilla: most people would choose the
radioactive lizard over the space robot, because
Godzilla won against Mechagodzilla. What these
people fail to realize is that Godzilla had an
unfair advantage in that battle. Both titans

Grendel And His Mother Seamus Heaney
932 words
The poem Beowulf, translated by Seamus Heaney, is
largely based around the monstrousness of Grendel
and his mother. It was a difficult task for Heaney
to translate the poem into Modern English while
maintaining the beauty of the language and
capturing the horror of the monsters. He utilises
devices such as structure, literary devices and
characterisation to emphasise the fear apparent in
the text. Though Heaney's writing is effective, it
is impossible to use the incidents in the poem
that relate...

Kenneth Branagh Frankenstein Monster

Most Americans have some idea of who Frankenstein
is, as a result of many Frankenstein movies and
popularity of monster. However, most peoples ideas
are incorrect about Mary Shelleys novel,
Frankenstein is the name of the scientist, not
monster, and the monster himself is not the
inarticulate, rage-driven criminal that Robert de
niro shows in the 1994 film version of the novel.
Shelleys original Frankenstein was misrepresented
by this Kenneth branagh film, most likely to send
a different message...

Sense Of Vengeance Form Of Revenge Beowulf
1,204 words
Beowulf is an epic poem that, above all, gives the
reader an idea of a time long past; a time when
the most important values were courage and
integrity. The only factors that could bestow
shower fame upon a person were heroic deeds and
family lineage. Beowulf, as the paradigm of pagan
heroes, exhibited his desire to amass fame and
fortune; the only way to do so was to avenge the
death of others. This theme of retribution that is
ever present throughout the poem seems to color
the identities of i...

friendship that can be developed intentionally or

that sometimes because we might need the help of
someone who if it wasnt for the current need we

Lord Of The Flies Fear Of Losing
1,044 words
A running theme in Lord of the Flies is that man
is savage at heart, always ultimately reverting
back to an evil and primitive nature. The cycle of
mans rise to power, or righteousness, and his
inevitable fall from grace is an important point
that book proves again and again, often comparing
man with characters from the Bible to give a more
vivid picture of his descent. Lord Of The Flies
symbolizes this fall in different manners, ranging
from the illustration of the mentality of actual
