How does Grendel's characterization in Beowulf differ from his characterization in Grendel?
Bingel [31]

The correct answer is D.

In "Beowulf," Grendel is always the villan of the story. He is presented as a man-eating demon, who daily slaughters Danes and feeds on his corpres. He is never anything more than an obstacle for Beowulf to overcome.

On the contraty, in "Grendel," the reader can see different aspects of him. He is presented as an inteligent creature, capable of rational thoughs and emotions.

The story shows Grendel's changes and growth. It explores his relationship with his mother, his fascination with humans -which eventually turns into hatred and disgust-, and provides his point of view about the battle with Beowulf.

Write down a fable on any one of the given topics
Svet_ta [14]

Although I cannot write the whole fable for you, I can provide you with the topics to develop into one. Our theme is the first one, "Do not give your enemies the means of destroying you."

  • The main characters are a fox and dog. The fox is sly and smart, whereas the dog is arrogant and proud. The dog guards a farm, and the fox lives in the forest that surrounds that farm.
  • The fox wants to steal eggs from the farm, but he is afraid of the dog. However, he notices how clean and lustrous the dog's fur is, so he compliments the dog.
  • The dog loves being complimented, so he begins telling the fox about himself. He talks about what he eats, how many baths he takes a month, how comfortably he sleeps, etc.
  • The dog talks so much that he ends up revealing the best time for the fox to enter the farm undetected - the time when he, the dog, is too busy to guard anything.
  • The next day, the fox steals all the eggs and the dog's owner is rightfully angry. The dog realizes he has talked too much and that his pride led him to think the fox is really interested in learning about him.

<h3>What is a fable?</h3>
  • A fable is a type of story that presents a moral lesson. Its main characteristic is the use of animals and objects with human qualities and abilities, such as talking, as characters.
  • The topics above can be developed into a fable where the lesson is that pride is harmful and can lead us to give our enemies the means to destroy us.
  • The dog is <u>proud and narcissistic</u>. For that reason, he thinks everyone admires him and is interested in him. He cannot stop talking about himself, so he ends up giving away precious information to the fox.
  • A good idea is to write the dialogue between the characters showing how much dog talks as opposed to how little the fox talks. The fox will mostly express admiration for the dog's beauty and his comfortable life, trying to get him to keep on talking.

valina [46]
I believe the correct answer is to help the reader visualize a view where water and sky are difficult to tell apart.
The author is trying to portray an image where the water and the sky are somehow blending into each other - you can't tell where one ends and the other one begins, because both items are colored similarly - various shades of blue.
