Journal Entry 13
Again select two of the questions and try to compose an answer the questions.
1. Why would Beowulf rather be a hero than a king? What is the difference?
2. Where does the dragon come from? Why does he attack the Geats? Is the dragon a greater or lesser threat than Grendel? Why does Beowulf go to fight him?
3. Who are the Swedes and Frisians? Why are we given such detailed information about the history of the Geats and their quarrels?
4. Trace the history of the Dragon's hoard from its first to its last burial. How is this treasure different from other treasures in the poem? When Beowulf dies, does he go to Heaven?

I think you have both hit on some very good ideas that we will begin discussing tomorrow.
