. The river, curling softly by, / Whispers and dimples round its quiet gray stones what is the meaning

English
1 answer:
Paul [167]3 years ago

Answer:

The poet create a peaceful image of a river moving over stones.

Explanation:

The poet imagines the river quietly moving ("curling") over stones that are probably positions in the middle and edges of the river's water. The water seems to be making soft noises ('whispers") as it moves around and over the stones in its path. The poet captures a peaceful and calming image. Furthermore, the poet hightens the peacefullness of this image by also calling the stones ("quiet"). This adds extra weight to the poet's intentions of painting a calming scenerio.

Stylistically, the poet employs meter in order to mirror the sound of the river rolling over the stones. The language of phrases such as "curling softly by" and "whispers and dimples" seem to be drawn out, while phrases such as "quiet gray stones" are staccatoed and quick.

How does Grendel's characterization in Beowulf differ from his characterization in Grendel?
Bingel [31]

The correct answer is D.

In "Beowulf," Grendel is always the villan of the story. He is presented as a man-eating demon, who daily slaughters Danes and feeds on his corpres. He is never anything more than an obstacle for Beowulf to overcome.

On the contraty, in "Grendel," the reader can see different aspects of him. He is presented as an inteligent creature, capable of rational thoughs and emotions.

The story shows Grendel's changes and growth. It explores his relationship with his mother, his fascination with humans -which eventually turns into hatred and disgust-, and provides his point of view about the battle with Beowulf.
