Beowulf
OLD ENGLISH POEM – ANALYZING THE LITERATURE, PART 3
Analyzing the Literature
• Epic: a long narrative poem, sometimes developed orally, that
celebrates a hero’s deeds.
• Epics from different languages and time periods do not always have the
same characteristics. For example, Homer’s epics The Iliad and The
Odyssey do not use some of the literary elements used in Beowulf.
A Guide to Life
• The earlier folktales and Beowulf were combined to include the
Christian beliefs.
• This is why there is a blending of old Celtic beliefs with the new
Christian beliefs.
• The poem shows the struggle between the old gods and the new
Christian God.
• The bravery, loyalty, and evil in Beowulf taught the Anglo-Saxons the
values that their culture wanted them to have.
Actions of the Hero
• All epics, however, concern the actions of a hero, who can be described
as
• being of noble birth or high position, and often of great historical or legendary
importance
• exhibiting character traits, or qualities, that reflect important ideals of society
• performing courageous, sometimes superhuman, deeds that reflect the values of
the era
• performing actions that often determine the fate of a nation or group of people
Epic Conventions
In addition, most epics share certain conventions, which reflect the larger –
than-life events that a hero might experience.
• The setting is vast in scope, often involving more than one nation.
• Denmark and Sweden
• The plot is complicated by supernatural beings or events and may involve a
long and dangerous journey through foreign lands.
• The Lord of the Rings features characters whose journey through many lands is
impeded by supernatural forces.
• Dialogue often includes long, formal speeches delivered by the major
characters.
--Beowulf includes many such speeches.
More Epic Conventions
• The theme reflects timeless values, such as:
--courage and honor, and encompasses universal ideas, such as good
and evil or life and death.
**One of the reasons Beowulf was so popular in England is that it
addresses these ideas that the English, in turn, could take on as part of
their national identity.
• The style of the epic includes formal diction (the writer’s choice of
words and sentence structure) and a serious tone (the expression of
the writer’s attitude toward the subject).
Even More Epic Conventions
• Beowulf uses kennings.
• Kennings is a figurative, usually compound expression used in place of
a name or noun, especially in Old English and Old Norse poetry
• For example, storm of swords is a kenning for battle.
The Use of the Hero
• Legendary hero: a larger-than-life character
whose accomplishments are celebrated in traditional tales.
The hero should have characteristics that his culture values.
For example, Beowulf is boastful, strong and victorious but his loyalty,
bravery and honor teach us how the Anglo-Saxons viewed the world.

The Rape of the Lock
Alexander Pope was a Roman Catholic poet born in London in 1688 who was self-taught and inspired by classical Greek writers. His masterpiece, "The Rape of the Lock," was written in 1712 as a mock-heroic epic poem satirizing a trivial dispute between two aristocratic families after a lock of hair was cut from a woman without permission. The poem uses the conventions of an epic, such as supernatural machinery involving sylphs and other spirits, to dramatize the trivial conflict in a way that comments on vanity and the disproportionate values of aristocratic society.

Thomas Hobbes and The Social Contract
Thomas Hobbes was a 17th century English philosopher known for developing social contract theory. He argued that individuals in a state of nature would consent to be governed by an absolute sovereign in order to escape a chaotic and dangerous condition. Hobbes believed people relinquished their rights and authorized the sovereign's absolute rule to maintain peace and security. His theory justified strong central authority but was criticized for limiting individual liberty.
Rousseau's Theory of Social Contract
Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Swiss philosopher born in 1712 who published two influential works in 1762, The Social Contract and Emile. In these works, he outlined his theory of social contract which argued that people form societies and consent to be governed through an implicit agreement, surrendering some freedoms for the stability and protections provided by the state. This social contract creates a sovereign, the general will of the people, and binds citizens to work for the common good of society over individual interests. Though criticized, Rousseau's ideas greatly influenced political thought and the French and American revolutions.
No Second Troy-William Butler Yeats
William Butler Yeats was an Irish poet who won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He served two terms as a senator in Ireland.

Hacker shaw-apa
The document summarizes Karen Shaw's research paper on apes and language abilities. Over the past 30 years, research has shown that apes like chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans more closely resemble humans in language abilities than previously thought. However, there is ongoing debate around questions such as how spontaneously apes use language, how creatively they can use language, whether they can create sentences, and the implications of ape language studies. The paper reviews literature related to these four questions and presents evidence from studies of apes like Kanzi, Washoe and Koko.
Hacker daly-mla
Angela Daly argues that states should pass laws regulating the use of cell phones in moving vehicles. She presents research showing that cell phone use while driving significantly increases the risk of accidents, to a degree similar to drunk driving. Several studies found a four times greater risk of accidents when using a phone. Despite this danger, current laws often result in light punishment for drivers involved in fatal accidents due to phone use. Daly advocates state laws with clear restrictions and penalties to reduce accidents and save lives on the roads.

Class on Discourse Analysis
This document defines discourse and discusses various classifications and analyses of discourse, including:
- Discourse is language that extends beyond the sentence level and derives meaning from broader contexts.
- Context can be linguistic, situational, or cultural and impacts the interpretation of discourse.
- Speech acts theory proposes that language is used not just to inform but to perform actions, such as requests, promises, threats.
- John Austin and John Searle developed classifications of speech acts including directives, commissives, representatives, declaratives, and expressives.
The God of Small Things
The document summarizes key aspects of hegemony and the caste system as portrayed in the novel The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. It discusses how the upper caste uses hegemonic laws and ideology to oppress and control the lower caste.

The document also examines how characters exhibit hegemonic behavior towards colonial rulers and other social groups.
Go, and Catch a Falling Star
This poem by John Donne uses impossible imagery to argue that finding a truly faithful woman is impossible. It lists fantastical tasks like catching a falling star, getting a mandrake root to bear a child, splitting the devil's foot, and hearing mermaids sing. These things cannot be done, implying that a faithful woman also cannot be found no matter how far one searches. Even if such a woman was found, the poem says she would soon be false to two or three men before the speaker could meet her.
Literary Discourse Analysis
This literary discourse analyzes T.S. Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" through a formalist lens. It explores the poem's locutionary and illocutionary meanings, characters, point of view, tone, mood, setting, and use of literary devices like repetition, allusion, metaphor, and symbols. The poem captures the unexpressed love and fragmented thoughts of the postmodern character Prufrock, who lacks courage to express his feelings for a lady due to regret of aging and unfulfilled desires.

For Alamgir Hashmi, it examines his poem "Testing Ground" which technically denounces authority that sends soldiers to dangerous areas. Overall
Discourse Analysis
This document analyzes a 14-line poem about a blacksmith at work in his forge. The analysis includes:
1) An examination of the linguistic context through deictics, co-text, and collocation.
2) An exploration of the situational context including the field, tenor, and mode.
3) A discussion of the cultural context referring to Christianity and an agricultural society.
4) An application of speech act theory to identify the locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts in the poem.
5) A classification of the speech acts using Searle's framework as mostly representative but also expressive.
Discourse Analysis
This document analyzes the poem "Digging" by Seamus Heaney through contextual analysis and speech act theory. It first examines the linguistic, situational, and cultural context of the poem. It then discusses the locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary meanings of the speech acts in the poem. Finally, it classifies the speech acts in the poem according to Searle's framework, finding that most lines are representative speech acts describing memories and situations. The analysis provides new insight into how the poem conveys the speaker absorbing his ancestors' qualities to create his own work through poetry.
Crusoe’s Dream and Desire
1) The document analyzes Crusoe's dreams in Robinson Crusoe through the lens of Sigmund Freud's dream theory.
2) It discusses two dreams Crusoe experiences - in one, an angel comes to kill him, reflecting his regret at disobeying his father, and in the other he rescues a man from cannibals, foreshadowing his rescue of Friday.
3) It argues Crusoe's unconscious desires, like his longing for human companionship and to escape the island, influenced his dreams according to Freudian theory, with the dreams fulfilling these desires.
Hamlet’s Procrastination
The document discusses Hamlet's delay in taking revenge against his uncle Claudius for killing Hamlet's father. It analyzes Hamlet's psychology and possible reasons for his delay from several critical perspectives, including Freudian psychoanalysis which suggests Hamlet suffers from an Oedipus complex. The document also examines internal factors like Hamlet's moral values and external difficulties he encounters, as well as the idea that Hamlet's delay stems from an excess of thinking that prevents action. Overall, the document provides a detailed analysis of the various psychological and other factors that may have contributed to Hamlet's delay in avenging his father's death.
