Today in class we talked about the following about Beowulf:
-Hidleburh is the siter of the king of the Danes.
-The sword hilt is the part of the sword that you grab-not the entire sword.
-Beowulf went into the lake to kill Grendel, not Grendel's mother, but succeeds in both.
-Beowulf gives the swordhilt to Hrothgar because it represents a renewal of faith.
-In the Mead-hall the Geats slept with their armor on just in case something attacks, they were prepared.
-When Beowulf takes the 9-hour plunge into the lake, the danes give up, while the Geats wait.(That's Faith)
-Beowulf didn't bring the treasure up from the lake because they didn't deserve it.
-Wealtheow talks Hrothgar out of adopting Beowulf because he has loyalty to another tribe, but instead, Beowulf becomes a friend, or a protector, to the danes.
