Archetype An old imaginative pattern that has appeared in literature throughout the ages.

Kennings A kenning is a literary device in which a poetic phrase substitutes for a noun. Often used in Anglo-Saxon poetry and especially in Beowulf, a kenning provides powerful imagery that would help the audience focus on the words of the scop or poet telling the story. A kenning also allows the scop some variety, so words don’t become overused.

Kennings sky-candle (the sun) swan-road (the sea) stout-hearted (brave) battle sweat (blood) light-of-battle (sword) helmet bearers (warriors) giver of gold (king) earth-hall (burial mound, barrow) dwelling place (home) storm of swords (battle) (examples from Beowulf)

Kennings 1. gas guzzler 2. headhunter 3. muffin top 4. rug rat 5. land line 6. eye candy 7. cancer stick 8. boob tube 9. couch potato 10. tramp stamp (modern-day examples)

Kennings Do you know any others? Can you create 5 kennings of your own?
