Christian beliefs - Selflessness - Wiglaf, the selfless character who everyone should aspire to be. He stays with Beowulf even when the other ten men flee. This also relates to the betrayal of Jesus by Judas, except Beowulf is betrayed by all but one of his men. <span>
Boasting - Beowulf boasts about his match with Breca on the open seas and recounts the story of his victory of Grendel and his mother several times throughout the poem.
Pride in loyalty - See above (Wiglaf)
<span>Desire for fame - The entire reason Beowulf travels to help the Danes with Grendel. Also can be seen as a selfish act which is counter to Christian beliefs.</span></span>

"Macbeth" is a famous tragedy by Shakespeare. Lady Macbeth and her husband begin to kill those around them in order to climb up to the throne. However, Lady Macbeth believes her husband is not ruthless and ambitious enough. She begins to coach him, to guide him as to which steps to take next, all due to her thirst for power. She even tells him to "look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it," teaching him to deceive and manipulate others. He may not be ruthless enough - at first -, but she is, for the both of them.

Read this sonnet, and then complete the sentences that follow. Sonnet 4 by Edmund Spenser Be not dismayed that her unmoved mind

labwork [276]

The rhyme scheme is ABAB up until the last two lines, which are CC. Rhyme scheme signifies which lines rhyme with each other, depending on the last word in each line. The As correspond with each other, the Bs correspond with each other, and so on.

The main idea of the poem is that one should not to give up pursuing a woman if at first she doesn't seem interested, because when she has finally been won over, her love will last forever. In other words, be patient, because a woman who is not easily wooed will provide the longest form of love.

The poet uses the "metaphor" of burning an oak. A metaphor is a comparison between two seemingly unlike things (in this case a woman/her love and an oak tree) without using the words "like" or "as" (which would make the comparison a simile).

The poet uses the metaphor of a wound to represent how deep love can go ("Deep is the wound, that dints the parts entire With chaste affects, that naught but death can sever").
