Beowulf's Last Battle

2014-09-10 15:45:33 UTC

Lines 606

From the very first line in this section, the tone and vocabulary used makes it obvious Beowulf will not make it out alive. We are set in the terrifying castle where the dragon lives, while the heart wrenching battle begins. (Savannah)

So she reached Herot,

Where the Danes slept as though already dead;

Her visit ended their good fortune.

Line 429

Growing out over the lake are all covered

"Although on monster had died, another still lived."

The Dragon

2014-09-11 22:34:37 UTC

Lines 645-655

When the evil dragon finally kills Beowulf, the creature's fire is what caused the hero to draw his last breath. The dragon is figuratively similar to fire. The dragon's rage and anger was set aflame by a thief, just like fire must be set aflame by a trigger. (Savannah)

coming alone, bloodthirsty and horrible.

Beowulf
