Answer:

The theme, simply put, is fear and its effect on one's mind - particularly a fear of the unknown.

Explanation:

"The Premature Burial" is a short story about one man's extreme fear of being buried alive.  He struggles from an internal conflict (him vs. his mind), as he obsessively imagines himself being buried alive over and over.  It is worth noting that the narrator frequently suffers from catalepsy (loss of sensation and consciousness similar to death) hence, fearing a cataleptic state will make others believe he is dead.

in what ways is beowulf a model of leadership for our own times? in what ways do his traits and skills fail to translate to our
horsena [70]
Beowulf follows a strict code of morals fighting for fame and glory he is described as brave daring and bold. He inspired his men and lead them without fear. His choices were always made to keep his men as safe as he could wile still completing his task. this is a great model for leadership in our times as many fail to lead with justness as Beowulf did. He made fair decisions and always looked out for his fellow warriors. 

His skills however dont translate into today's modern times as beowulfs tales speak of evil monsters, terrifying creatures and dark places all over the world. His job in this epic poem is to rid the world of its most dangerous demons monsters and creatures weather they lurk in the sea, sky, or deep underground and he does this for payment but mostly for glory as in the times this poem is based to kill a beast of such stature was an instant way to be remembered and that is what many including Beowulf searched for to be remembered to have songs sung in his name and for people to remember his skill and power.

(hope that helped)
