What does albatross symbolize? I need a paragraph

English
1 answer:
olga_2 [115]3 years ago
3 0
An albatross symbolizes a dead weight, or a burden (emotionally, obviously).  The origin of this stems from the belief that killing an albatross would bring bad luck to sailors, most popularly from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, where an albatross is hung from the neck of a sailor who killed it.  Some may consider obstacles they struggle to overcome to be an albatross, or even themselves if they feel that they are 'weighing others down', in a sense.  Inversely though, albatrosses can also mean good luck, although this is used less commonly than the former.

What do the Dane warriors do to avoid Grendel after the attacks start?
4vir4ik [10]
If we refer to the first part of "Beowulf" when we are first being told of Grendel's attacks, we can determine what the answer to this question is. We know that Grendel was jealous of Hrothgar's kingdom and the happiness they had since Grendel was an outcast, a son of Cain. He would never experience the happiness and joy that Hrothgar's kingdom had which is what made him start attacking them as the mead hall was finished. The only way for the men to escape certain death was for them to not sleep in the mead hall each night. Any man found in the mead hall after dark was guaranteed to be killed by Grendel and possibly pulled into his lair beneath the water.
