How does Beowulf die?

English

<span>Beowulf dies during battle with a dragon. In the second part of the poem, Beowulf has ruled over the Geats for fifty years, and he is a good leader. When the dragon attacks, it is worthy of note that he does not do so unprovoked. The dragon has been tasked with guarding a treasure hoard, and although the original owner of the treasure has long since died, the dragon continues to stand guard. When a cup is stolen from the treasure by a man who wants to win favor with his master, the dragon seeks revenge on Beowulf's people. Beowulf takes a large retinue of warriors to fight the dragon, but at the sight of the creature, all of Beowulf's vassals flee with the exception of Wiglaf, the youngest. Beowulf and Wiglaf fight the dragon together, and although they kill the dragon, Beowulf is fatally wounded. As he lays dying, Beowulf gives Wiglaf instructions for his burial and the disposal of the treasure.Wiglaf's remaining by Beowulf's side reinforces the theme of loyalty in the poem. Beowulf is ultimately faithful to his lord, Hygelac, even while he is fighting in the service of Hrothgar, a rival lord. This loyalty is repaid when Wiglaf remains by his side, even while his other vassals flee.</span>

Answer:

Beowulf died during the battle with the dragon.

Explanation:

Beowulf is the oldest English text which still exists.

These are some points which show how Beowulf die:

  • Beowulf was the king of Geats.
  • He is killed as he and wiglaf fight the dragon.
  • The dragon kills him because Beowulf goes out without any arm to fight with the monster.
  • Beowulf died because of the poisonous wound caused by the dragon.
  • Beowulf's last wish was to wiglaf to go to barrow and bring back some treasure and let him look before he dies.

What is the participial phrase in this sentence?
kolbaska11 [484]

answer: C

A participial phrase consists of a participle plus modifiers such as an ‘-ing’, ‘-ed’ and so on

in the following sentence The broken vase, purchased by my grandmother, was suddenly falling to the floor, smashing into pieces, the participial phase is ‘purchased by my grandmother’ because you can find that the above phrase has as verbal ending of ‘-ing’. In addition to this it must not be forgotten that a participle phrase will act as an adjective in any sentence
