Det Smukke Ved Danmark

Michael Crockett J00456099 British Literature 215-104 Dr. Volf Digression and Episode Analysis: Beowulf Hrothgar’s Speech The significance of Hrothgar’s Speech is where the Geats and Danes came to celebrate Beowulf’s victory over Grendel’s mother. This victory has finally helped and freed the Danes from the monsters that where terrorizing them for 12 years. Hrothgar foreshadow Beowulf’s death and he warned him to beware of the trap.

The importance of the poem requires readers to understand the key information throughout it. It begins with King Hrothgar’s suffering with the problem of Grendel, a powerful- demon who terrorizes the citizens of Denmark every night, who kills them and crushes their efforts to fight back. In lines 100-104, Grendel is introduced to the story with the description of, “a fiend out of hell, began to

Throughout “The Skeleton in Armor”, the life of the viking can be seen in the references of water in the forms of ice, snow, and sea, which symbolize the positivity and negativity in the viking’s life and give the poem its romantic

The rigid and confined society of the Danes also shaped the way its people think and act, but also influenced greatly on the writings. Given the fact that metaphors and kennings are common in Old English literature; the representation of “evil” is also something not to be taken on a literal level. “Edgetho had begun a bitter feud / Killing Hathlaf, a Wulfing warrior” (459-460), inter-tribal feuds, therefore, are also a destroyer of peace. Grendel takes on a form that is left uncertain; its real meaning hidden behind the metaphorical mask of a monster, is the never-ending battles between tribal armies (namely, the Danes, Geats, Frisians, and the Swedes) that had disturbed the tranquility people had longed for. It is almost a barrier of peacekeeping, hider of hope. Hence, it is represented by Grendel, a great evil hated by many, whom

Hrothgar's intentions are sociocentric: by employing the strength of “many peoples” (76) to build the “legendary hall” (412) of Heorot, he brings his people together and gives his people a legacy, ensuring a future for Denmark.

William’s maternal grandmother’s parents and both sets of her grandparents resided near the center of the Scandinavian Peninsula in Brunflo parish, Jämtland, Sweden.5 Jämtland exists as both a historical province and a modern county. However, unlike Gotland, the borders of the province and county do not coincide. The age-old community of Brunflo lies in central Jämtland on the shore of Storsjön, which translates into English as the Great Lake. The area around the lake, the Storsjö district, serves as the administrative, economic, and cultural hub of Jämtland, a status that dates back for centuries.5

Hrothgar reminds Beowulf that Heremod’s “rise in the world brought little joy to the Danish people, only death and destruction.” (1711/1712) Because Heremod “vented his rage on men he caroused with” and “killed his own comrades” in his “bloodthirsty” pursuit, he “suffered in the end for having plagued his people for so long” and his life consequently “lost happiness.” (1713-1722) Through Hrothgar’s discourse, Heremod fully emerges as a vilified character. Now, Beowulf has been provided with the opportunity to hear Heremod’s story twice. Beowulf’s lack of response either to the mention of Heremod seems indeed to mark him as the “undaunted hero.” (1816) While Beowulf might not respond to this rising forewarning, his impending honorable actions toward Geatland begin to speak for themselves.

8-9). Later in the book her husband suggests that she joins a local cooking class so that she can learn to speak Danish better, and so she meets new people. This experience is turned upside down when she mistakes the Danish word for flour with the Danish word for sugar and created a sugary meatloaf (ch. 3). A comical side to her experience is when her husband Thor decides that she must immerse herself better and experience a Danish bathhouse. He then proceeds to take her to a bathhouse where she feels openly criticised and mocked because of her lack of self decorum (ch. 4). Later, Anderson finally has her baby in Copenhagen and is worried that the villagers will not accept the baby as one of the new villagers because it wasn’t born within the community. She later finds out that the villagers accept the baby as their own and throw her a party to celebrate the birth of a new villager (ch. 6).In the book she often refers to embarrassing experiences with her struggles of learning the language. At a dinner party with the pastor she unwittingly uses a shocking and vulgar compliment.. Fortunately, this “compliment” was laughed at and enjoyed by everyone in attendance at the party (pg. 97-99). In the final

I believe that one of the most prominent aspects of Icelandic Saga’s is the very unique feuds and resolutions that are found in our readings. The social issues found in these sagas are constructs of many different influences upon society during the viking ages making distinctive culturally unique plots. Despite having a very warrior-like history and a culture which praised characteristics which were violent, we see the progression of Icelanders as we begin to notice more problems solved without violence. Through the inspection of these feuds solved by peace are we able to obtain a better grasp of what went into the creation and order of icelandic society and stories. In this essay I will provide an examination of the resolution of feuds present
