English IV

Journal: From the fierce, doomed Anglo-Saxon warrior Beowulf
to King Arthur and his loyal knights, bound by their code of
chivalry, early British literature shows a deep fascination with the
hero as the embodiment of society’s highest ideals. As these
ideals have shifted, the image of the hero has changed too. What
do you believe are the qualities of a true hero? Do you have any
heroes who live up to this ideal? Describe them.

01 The History Of The British Isles

  • 2. English IV Mr. Gilliand Journal: From the fierce, doomed Anglo-Saxon warrior Beowulf to King Arthur and his loyal knights, bound by their code of chivalry, early British literature shows a deep fascination with the hero as the embodiment of society’s highest ideals. As these ideals have shifted, the image of the hero has changed too. What do you believe are the qualities of a true hero? Do you have any heroes who live up to this ideal? Describe them.
