Answer:
Beowulf takes place in the 5th or 6th, in Scandinavia.
Explanation:
Beowulf is a famous epic poem that was first told in Anglo-Saxon England between the 8th and the 11th centuries. However, the story's setting is much older. It takes place in 5th or 6th Century Scandinavia, a part of England which now comprises the countries of Sweden and Denmark. At that time, the tribes that lived in that area were in constant warfare with one another.
The main character of the poem is the hero Beowulf. He incredibly defeats three monsters: Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a dragon. However, when fighting the dragon, Beowulf ends up getting injured and dies afterward.
The words the author chooses to use in a passage can change the whole tone and feeling of the story in many different ways, or add depth and detail to the story.
