In beowulf why is it that grendel did not dare to touch the kings throne

English
1 answer:
stellarik [79]4 years ago
4 0
In the binary (good vs. evil) epic world of Beowulf, the king is a defender of law and order, and Grendel is the villain who challenges these principles. But neither the king nor Grendel act on their own. The king is God's representative on Earth and a protector of all his subjects. On the other hand, Grendel is not an ordinary villain or a monster. He is the descendant of Cain, Biblical figure who killed his own brother. As a creature of hell, he mustn't touch the king's throne, which is God's endowment. In other words, the one who symbolizes the Devil must stay away from God's symbols.

What is gothic literature designed to do
satela [25.4K]
Gothic literature is meant to horrify. Its heavy use of dark, brooding imagery (enchanted forests, crumbling castles, ghosts, etc.) are designed to confuse the relationship of the reader's mind to the reader's senses. Basically, the reader knows that the story is fictional, but somehow the story still creates powerful feelings in the reader's body—like when you jump or scream during a horror movie.

Joan the acr, the fifteenth century rebel warrior who was burned at the stake, ____ the authorities’ order to ___ her beliefs
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Joan of Arc, the fifteenth century rebel warrior who was burned at the stake, defied the authorities’ order to renounce her beliefs.

Explanation:

Joan of Arc was born in a turbulent time when the Hundred Years' War had ravaged for well over ninety years. Her homeland was divided into two: the Armagnacs wanted to expel the English, and the Burgundians concluded an alliance with them. That made it impossible for France to win. The English dissatisfaction with the French interference in the king's vassals led to fierce battles over who should inherit the French throne. Joan of Arc started hearing voices when she was 12 years old. She thought she heard the voice of God. The voice told her that she should liberate France. The northern part of France was under English rule. In Joan's time, the war entered a new chapter, when England and France were to have new kings: In England, an infant was heir to the throne. In France, the later Charles VII awaited the next step that could lead him to the French throne. Joan of Arc, who had come to crown her king and liberate her people, ended her short life on the heresy fire; convicted of dressing in men's clothing and of mocking the church and God, who she believed had imposed on her her mission.
