Which character is described in these lines? "but weapons of victory Swords and suchlike he had sworn to dispense with" Beowulf
galina1969 [7]
<span>The correct answer is A. This description applies to Beowulf.

At this point in the poem, Beowulf is about to battle Grendel. Because Grendel is charmed such that no human weapon can harm him, Beowulf must do away with "weapons of victory," such as swords. Beowulf goes down to battle Grendel without taking any weapons with him.

Once there, however, he finds the sword forged by giants, which he uses to slay Grendel. Because this sword was not made by human hands, it can be used to kill Grendel.</span>

What is one reason that roger williams wrote a key into the american language?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Roger Williams was known as a believer in separating Church from State and he was noted for his tolerance of racial and religious differences. One reason why he decided to write a key into the American Language, was so that settlers would be able to communicate more effectively with Native Americans; as a promoter of tolerance and equality, Williams helped promote more stable interactions between settlers and Native Americans.
