Answer:
Women had only one main choice in regards to their lives within the time period that Jane Austen wrote Sense and Sensibility. Women had to be married off to older gentlemen in order to be financially secure as predominately their brother would receive any inheritance. Lucy is a prime example of a woman who went along with the status quo of society and married not for love but instead for the financial security. She valued connection and societal views more than she valued independence and attachment. Jane Austen utilized Lucy as a way to demonstrate the sad truths of how society valued marriage, as more of a business deal instead of holding sacred the value of emotions and love that should accompany marriage. Lucy did not come to realize that sense and sensibility in moderation could bring her far more happiness than money ever could. Lucy deepens the plot by initially having an attachment to Edward Farrer, who was the object of Elinor's one and only affection. In the end, because Lucy decided to marry Edward's brother instead because he was receiving the inheritance, it demonstrated how Edward and Elinor valued attachment opposed to connections. Edward had given up his inheritance to be with Lucy however, she saw this as a horrid thing to do and chose to give up her love to him for a materialistic value instead. This demonstrated the development of Elinor and Edward's character as they both learned that to love one another they needed to not only demonstrate the characteristics of sense but also encompass sensibility and with both in moderation they were able to reach a state of happiness and contentment within each other.

Answer: I actually just ready Beowulf for my Brit Lit class :)
Explanation:
Grendel displays nothing but the most primitive human qualities in the original Beowulf epic. However, he is an intelligent and temperamental monster in Grendel, capable of logical thinking as well as unreasonable emotional outbursts. The monster Grendel also appears as human in the novel as the people he observes. This vague characterisation is reinforced by Grendel 's history. Grendel is pursued by the novel through three phases of his life. The first stage is his childhood, which he spends innocently, untroubled by the outside environment or existential concerns, exploring his confined world. His first exposure to the wider world is Grendel's exploration of the lake of firesnakes and the realm beyond it, one full of risk and possibility. As such, when Grendel moves into adulthood, crossing the lake is a critical step for him. When the bull hits him, the second step, which decisively makes Grendel an adult, happens, causing him to understand that the universe is basically unpredictable, follows no pattern and is ruled by no discernible cause. This realization, in turn, prompts the query that forms the adult quest of Grendel, perhaps the twentieth century's greatest philosophical query: given a world without inherent meaning, how should one live his or her life? Grendel attempts to address this question in the second, adult stage of his life by studying the human race, which fascinates him because of its capacity to create patterns and then enforce those patterns on the environment, generating a perception that a consistent, orderly structure is pursued by the environment. His deadly struggle with Beowulf and the weeks leading up to that war encompass the third and final stage of Grendel 's life. Ultimately, the experience gives a violent conclusion to Grendel 's quest.
