Beowulf study guide Questions & 100%
Correct Answers
Explain the contrast that is developed between Herot, home of the Danes,

and Grendel's home. How do the biblical allusions extend this contrast?

✓ ~~> Herot's home was happy, fun, and bright with laughing.

Grendel's home was haunted with moors and the wild marshes. He

made his home in a hell not hell but earth covered with slime. The

biblical allusions extended this contrast by Grendel being born of cain

and banished by God. Herot being the ancient beginnings of us all

and all things good.




What do the hall and Grendel represent based on their descriptions in the first

paragraph?

✓ ~~> The hall represents heaven and all things fun and good. Grendel

represents hell and miserable and boring. The hall is good, Grendel is

bad.




What conflict is foreshadowed through this contrast?

✓ ~~> Grendel is being stirred and was punished forever for the crime

of Abel's death. The almighty drove the demons out and his exile was

bitter, shut away from men. He split into a thousand forms evil. A brood

forever opposing the lord's will. With all this hate in him the

foreshadowing will be him getting his revenge on everyone who done

him wrong.




Identify the alliteration, a device used in oral tradition, in lines 33-37. What

might be the purpose for this device?

✓ ~~> The alliteration in lines 33-37 is "He found them sprawled in sleep,

suspecting nothing, their dreams undisturbed. The monsters thoughts

were as quick as his greed or his claws: he slipped through the door

and there in the silence snatched up thirty men, smashed them." The

purpose of this was to show how peaceful everybody was and how he

disturbed the peace.




On page 411, identify the tone of lines 44-49. What details and words help to

convey the attitude of the poet?

✓ ~~> The tone in lines 44-49 is sadness. I know this because in the lines

it says Hrothgar sat joyless and was mourning. It also says how he wept

and was fearing for what's coming or what's gonna happen.
