I am Lyosha [343]3 years ago

Answer:

"Beowulf" presents the men as happy, rejoicing in the praises of their leader through the minstrel's song while Grendel presents a more horrific and extreme behavior of the men in the mead hall.

Explanation:

The epic narrative "Beowulf" by Seamus Heaney tells the story of the hero Beowulf and his actions, saving his people and the Danes from the menacing Grendel and his mother. On the other hand, the narrative of the same story but from a different perspective, "Grendel" by John Gardner tells the story from the monster's side. This presents a 'voice' for the monster greatly evaded and feared by the people.

<u>Heaney's text presents the men in the mead hall as calm and rejoicing, enjoying the party and satisfied with the praises of their leader</u>. They were <u>proud of their king's greatness and greatly accepts the exultations, happy with the song sung by the minstrel</u>.

On the other hand, <u>Gardner's version presents the men as wild and </u><em><u>"howling and clapping and stomping of men gone mad on art"</u></em><u>, driven out of control by the minstrel's songs of praise of their leader</u>. He concludes that they are <em>"a fire more dread than any visible fire"</em>.

Why did Frederick Douglass devote his time into Women's Rights?
Scilla [17]

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass believing that “Right is of no sex, truth is of no color,” Douglass urged an immediate end to slavery and supported Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and other women’s rights activists in their crusade for woman suffrage. in july of 1848, M’Clintock invited Douglass to attend the First Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, NY. Douglass readily accepted, and his participation at the convention revealed his commitment to woman suffrage. shortly after the convention, Douglass wrote,

"In respect to political rights, we hold woman to be justly entitled to all we claim for man. We go farther, and express our conviction that all political rights which it is expedient for man to exercise, it is equally so for women. All that distinguishes man as an intelligent and accountable being, is equally true of woman; and if that government is only just which governs by the free consent of the governed, there can be no reason in the world for denying to woman the exercise of the elective franchise, or a hand in making and administering the laws of the land. Our doctrine is, that “Right is of no sex.”"
