What do you think?

OpenStudy (kristina.emery):

good versus evil

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

I believe so... The poem essentially consists of three parts. There are three central conflicts: Grendel's domination of Heorot Hall; the vengeance of Grendel's mother after Grendel is slain; and the rage of the dragon after a thief steals a treasure that it has been guarding. http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/beowulf/facts.html

The question ask to choose among the following choices that states the main conflict of the story entitled Beowulf, base on my further research about the said story, the possible answer among the following choices is in letter B. good versus evil. I hope that helped.

OpenStudy (kristina.emery):

Art thou that Beowulf with Breca did struggle, On the wide sea-currents at swimming contended, Where to humor your pride the ocean ye tried, ’Twas mere folly that actuated you both to risk your lives on the ocean. From vainest vaunting adventured your bodies In care of the waters? ... In the water’s possession, Ye toiled for a seven-night; he at swimming outdid thee, In strength excelled thee. ... The pledge that he made thee Breca outdid you entirely. The son of Beanstan hath soothly accomplished. Then I ween thou wilt find thee less fortunate issue, Much more will Grendel outdo you, if you vie with him in prowess. Which of these words best describes Unferth's tone? vehement insulting ironic casual

lol Zach you beat me to it. XD

OpenStudy (cas_fangirl_14):

I believe the poems tone is: vehement Vehement Definition: showing strong feeling; forceful, passionate, or intense.

OpenStudy (kristina.emery):

O flower of warriors, beware of that trap. Choose, dear Beowulf, the better part, eternal rewards. Do not give way to pride. For a brief while your strength is in bloom but it fades quickly; and soon there will follow illness or the sword to lay you low, or a sudden fire or surge of water or jabbing blade or javelin from the air or repellent age. Your piercing eye’ will dim and darken; and death will arrive, dear warrior, to sweep you away. death accidents old age pride

OpenStudy (kristina.emery):
