English

Gelneren [198K]3 years ago

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."

Answer:

Snow leopard is found in Central Asia, especially in the Tibetan and Himalayas. In the summer, the snow leopard is 6000-9000 feet high. Their coat is yellowish long and thick, mainly pale gray, but the belly has black spots and marks all over the white. The calves have broad black longitudinal stripes on the posterior part of the body instead of spots. The snow leopard likes to eat wild sheep,goats,bird etc. They are relatively peaceful and there are no reports of man being attacked. But if their pups are threatened, they are immediately protected. They seem to be nocturnal than other cats.
