We are presented with a libertine speaker talking of many lovers. He suggests that, though he has spoken about the pain of love, it is only ‘Love’s pleasures’ that he cares about. As such, he has ‘betrayed’ ‘a thousand beauties’. He claims to have been a callous and deceiving lover, telling ‘the fair’ about the ‘wounds and smart’ they long to hear of, then ‘laughing’ and leaving. The poem is written in three elegant septets. Notice the iambic tetrameter and consider how important form might be to the theme of this particular kind of love and betrayal.

This speaker may not be entirely honest. The final stanza begins with ‘Alone’. Is there any sense of regret here? The speaker claims to be ‘Without the hell’ of love, yet in the same line we find reference to the ‘heaven of joy’. He  may even also sacrificed his joy with his promiscuous love.

This description best supports which thesis statement?
Dmitriy789 [7]

This description best supports this thesis statement:

  • The author makes historical characters seem like real people.
<h3 /><h3>What is a Thesis Statement?</h3>

A thesis statement refers to the main point of a text that the author expands on in the course of the article.

When talking about the woman in the text, Elizabeth Van Lew used descriptions that made the woman appear very real. The use of phrases like "tiny, birdlike woman" help to achieve this.

The description:

No one in Libby Prison hospital paid much attention to this tiny, birdlike woman with a thin nose and alert blue eyes as she went about her business of visiting the hospitalized soldiers. She read to them and brought them baskets of goodies.

Why is it important to grendel that his death be viewed as an accident?
lilavasa [31]

Grendel wants his death to be viewed as an accident because he doesn't want Beowulf to receive any honor.

He tells Beowulf that he isn't victorious, because he just slipped on the blood and wasn't actively pursued by him. Also, when he is running out in the woods he screams that Beowulf's victory was an accident.
