So no one is really blogging very much..... and since I just posted minutes I have a comprehension question about Beowulf. I won't ask it in class because of the spiel we got today about not using class time productively. So before Wealhtheow gives her praise to Beowulf there was a story told. I was just wondering about the significance of it? I mean the person referred to was the woman Hildeburh, so is it just told because Wealhtheow is about to speak or is there another big reason this is told at the celebration? I think i'm pretty much all clear on most of the questions on the sheet though. If anyone has anything they want to ask FEEL FREE!! :D

I guess we already went over it in class but for everyone that doesn't know the reason why the story was told is because it brings them back to a time when the Danes were not at war, but when they were victorious, relating to their peace now that Grendel is dead
