Scop After Beowulf killed Grendel, one of Hrothgar’s thanes stepped forward: “A minstrel mindful of saga and lay./ He wove his words in a winding pattern,/ Hymning the burden of Beowulf’s feat,/ Clothing the story in skillful verse” The scop composed poetry in oral form before the audience. Shaped the words to fit the occasion (people usually already knew the story). Was capable of reading and writing. Form of verse was direct, flexible Caesura-breaks in lines (2 half lines) Word-hoard-helped to compose poetry on the spot  words had different connotations. Boern (bear), freca (wolf), wiga (fighter) all meant warrior Alliteration Kenning-Compound word used as a metaphore 1. Beowulf-shield-bearer 2. Sun-candle in heaven
