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.”

Obviously the characters in Shakespeare's play find Mark Antony's speech really
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The reason why I personally disagree with this statement is that Mark Antony's speech wasn’t very good and the crowd was just written by Shakespeare to be suddenly convinced.

Explanation:

if you were to remove the easily swayed audience and replace it with a more objective audience,Mark Antony's speech would not still stand up as a convincing work of rhetoric.

The reason why I personally disagree with this statement is that Mark Antony's speech wasn’t very good and the crowd was just written by Shakespeare to be suddenly convinced. So I feel if the crowd were actually normal people the story could be different they wouldn’t be definitely so .
