Beowulf: The Connections with Rap
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the connection of the similarities of the epic tale of Beowulf with contemporary rap culture. Contends that, while there are no evolutionary connections between these two styles, there is a striking similarity between these two cultures even though they are separated by both time and geography. While the target of the violence and the causes and consequences of that violence is certainly different, the protagonist's braggadocio in Beowulf is a reflection of the culture of today's rappers.

Beowulf: Heeded Hrothgar's Advice?
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Exploring the common denominator that connects Hrothgar and Beowulf, one might readily point out the symbolic quest toward self-awareness inherent to each troubled individual. Hrothgar reflects upon what has occurred and - even though he professes appreciation - he nonetheless cautions Beowulf of the prideful monster that will eat at him if he does not exercise care. This epic poem - like so many others of this genre - exemplifies an era in which man's true virtues are epitomized, as well as how they endure within their most supreme existence. To have heeded Hrothgar's advice would have spared Beowulf some of his most agonizing moments, however, there was no way to warn of what fate awaited him when he was bound and determined to defy such a perilous destiny as Hrothgar foretold.
