What does the kenning "hell-forged hands" in line 64 suggest about Grendel?

English
1 answer:
Gelneren [198K]3 years ago
4 0

This kenning suggests that Grendel is a creature from hell and is pure evil.

In Old Norse and Old English poetry, kennings are metaphors in the form of compound words. Here, "hell-forged" is a metaphor for Grendel's devilish nature and origins.

In <em>Beowulf</em>, Grendel is described as a "creature of darkness," a monstrous being rejected by God. According to J.R.R. Tolkien in <em>Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics</em> (1936), Grendel is "the evil spirits [taking] visible shape."

Why do you think Christopher Paul Curtis wrote The Watsons go to Birmingham? Write
Kaylis [27]
I think Christopher Paul Curtis wrote the Watson go to Birmingham to show the world today what it was like back then and why it was like that and who had more rights and making it relatable

Another reason I think he wrote it to express how he was feeling and show the racism there was and the way that black’s were treated and the way black’s go hurt for no reason and to show us what happened to the African American people during that time of battle.
