The Battle with Grendel Part 3

The Battle with Grendel Line 270 reminds us again of the _______________________with the idea that Grendel was “bearing God’s hatred.” The poet uses __________when he gives inanimate objects personal characteristics, such as line 289’s “His heart laughed…” Line 293-5 gives us a blatant example of ____________________“but fate, that night, intended Grendel to gnaw the broken bones of his last human supper.”

The Battle with Grendel In line 296,“Human eyes were watching his evil steps,” shows us that the _____were not sleeping, but rather were ____________Grendel. “death and Grendel’s great teeth came together, snapping life shut” in lines 302-4 is an example of figurative language, specifically a _________ comparing death and Grendel’s bite. Lines 309 give us two examples of ________ .

The Battle with Grendel Lines 312-5 tell us that Grendel isn’t ______at all, but had been relying on his strength and power to dominate the _______. Lines 321-5 show what a coward he is! Line 327 tells us that “The Danes shook with terror…” How does this explain why Beowulf wanted to fight Grendel with only his men?

The Battle with Grendel Anglo-Saxon heroes were supposed to be larger than life... How do lines 328-9 apply this quality to Beowulf? How do lines 357-363 tell us why Beowulf didn’t want to use weapons to fight Grendel? “Trying to open a path for his evil soul” in line 358-9 is figurative language that tells us the warriors were trying to _____him.

The Battle with Grendel Lines 364-7 is another example of ______________, which tells us who is going to win the battle, Beowulf. Line 367 is a little like Catholic scare tactics; it reinforces the idea that hell is filled with ___________who will torture you according to your _________________. According to lines 373-7, how did Grendel escape, but Beowulf still win the battle?

The Battle with Grendel I want you to evaluate why Beowulf hung Grendel’s arm from the ceiling. Is it necessary? Is it a worthy thing for a hero to do or a symbol of hubris? Lines 412-5 give us a nice example of alliteration. Which letter is repeated? Line 420 is an example of hyperbole. What is the difference between hyperbole and overstatement?

The Battle with Grendel Summarize (give the highlights or main ideas) the last lines of this section, 396-420.
