Beowulf 1350

pg63 L929 "Heavenly Shepered"
If looked at as this being part of Bewowulfs sunrise he has already become a "shepered" of monsters. However because Beowulf is Beowulf they have to had Heavenly in there and can't just call him a Shepered.

pg 63 L945 "...bestowed grace on her"
hmmm...interesting, the lord bestowed a grace on Beowulf's mother. Perhaps her name was Marry? This sets up the idea again that Beowulf is a blessing.

pg71 L1057 "...God's will prevails"
"and on earth sent down from heaven glory be his name, the lord Jesus Christ" This gives the imprestion that Bewoulf was sent down by God to do his bidding just as Christ was. It then later goes further to say that Beowulfs actions have made him immortal. Just as Christs actions of not sinning did for him....I dont care what you say Quinn, Beowulf IS the son of God. Perhaps this is why he was able to carry his armor and sword across the ocean for 7 days..BECAUSE HE CAN WALK ON WATER!

pg87 L1220 "you are known to all men.."
IN the lines before this their is serioius foreshadow to Beowulf going on the prosper an defeat more enemies especially since the armor of famous men is being given to him. This is the idea of the warrior. Do great deeds so people worship you give you sweet stuff and sing about you when you die....This is the definition of Beowulf.

pg89 L265 "and from Cain there sprang spirits...Gredel among them"
How cn Grendel be a descendant of Cain when Cain was exiled and unable to enjoy anything because of God? Wouldn't having a child be slightly enjoyable?

So nobody could enjoy beer and wine is this fine mead hall untill Beowulf comes along and cleanses it so that everybody can enjoy drink in it once again. Just as Jesus did when he made water into wine!..stretching this? or is it just that obvious! fine im stretching it

  1. Cain's children are monsters -- not something that is really enjoyable. Also, it's possible that he is made to reproduce, or he does it to revolt against God and man. In the Bible it does say that Cain marries and has offspring, even through he is exiled.
