4 0

The story is set in Scandinavia in the 6th century. Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead hall in Heorot has been under attack by a monster known as Grendel. After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother attacks the hall and is then also defeated.

It is possibly the oldest surviving long poem in Old English and is commonly cited as one of the most important works of Old English literature. It was written in England some time between the 8th and the early 11th century. The author was an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet, referred to by scholars as the “Beowulf poet.”

Realism was a response to a0.
Oliga [24]

Realism is a literary movement that was created in response to romanticism.  Romanticism had at its basis—like the name suggests—a romantic (almost too optimistic) notion of all about which was written.   Realism, on the other hand, was just the opposite in that it portrayed society (reality) as the way it really was almost pessimistically (or at least as it was seen by the author) and can be seen as an equal and opposite reaction to romanticism.

Analyze the setting that Dante develops in Canto XXI. Examine how 1) the choices the author makes to describe the setting and 2)
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

In Canto IV of Dante Alighieri's Inferno, Dante starts to explore the first circle of Hell, called Limbo. This circle is described as the false heaven for those who can not worship the Christian religion. This allows readers to understand that people suspended in this first circle of Hell were not sinners and were placed in a circle of hell so as to maintain order, giving people a place to live after death. Dante uses widely acknowledged figures, such as Aristotle and Socrates to portray Limbo to readers. He makes that to show the place where they live with human wisdom but without God's light, emphasizing that they lived on earth as intellectuals in the field of human wisdom.
