The feature of Anglo-Saxon culture that is described in this excerpt is the cup-bearer.
Although men played the dominant role in the Anglo-Saxon society, <u>in </u><u><em>Beowulf</em></u><u> women are presented as playing different roles. One of these functions was being the cup-bearer</u>, that is, <u>being in charge of passing alcoholic drinks, such as beer, around the men</u> since in Anglo-Saxon society, women were the only ones authorized to serve alcohol. This is shown in a clear way in the excerpt when the Helming woman, who is also the Danish queen and Hrothgar’s wife, offers the goblet, a drinking cup, to all ranks.

This is the only instance when the main character tries to discover the source or roots of his happiness and infers that it hasn't resulted from any action from the past, nor from anything that might yet happen. The other options present this happiness as something that is almost a burden to him, and that's why they are examples of dark humor.</span>
I would say that the sentence from this conversation (that you forgot to include here) that most clearly illustrates the technique of outlining a discussion plan is the following one:
<span>A. Why don't we start with the symbolism of the door?
</span>This sentence shows us that Jennifer thought about how she would start this discussion, which is obvious if you take a look at the sentences following that one. Her plan is to start with the symbolism of the door, and then move on to other moments in the story.
