Hero and Anti Hero: Beowulf and Grendel
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Poetry is a vital element of any culture. It holds the heart, and some would say the soul of the community, or the culture at large. Not much remains of Anglo Saxon poetry. About 10% of about 30,000 lines form the story of Beowulf, an epic hero's journey set in Denmark and Sweden, in the seventh century. Grendel on the other hand is a modern creation by John Gardner, who is basically saying, "enough of this hero stuff -wait 'til you hear about the monster!" Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Herrick/Julia's Petticoat
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page explication of "Julia's Petticoat," by seventeenth century poet Robert Herrick. The writer argues that Herrick creates a seduction poem that uses the extended metaphor of his love's petticoat as an elaborate and poetically lyrical way of referring to the sexual allure of the woman who wears it. Examination of the poem shows that Herrick focuses on the effect that this undergarment has on the poet as he finds it suggestive of the woman's beauty and allure, so much so that the occasional glimpse of petticoat seems to excite him as much as the woman herself. No additional sources cited.

Homer's Odyssey/Relationship with Gods
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that discusses the information can be inferred from Homer's Odyssey concerning the relationship of humanity with the gods. The writer argues that religion gave ancient peoples not only an explanation of natural phenomenon that would otherwise be inexplicable, but also a feeling of control towards fate. Examination of this epic poem shows that to the ancient Greeks religion was not a remote or abstract subject, but rather a force that interacted with their lives directly. In the Odyssey, characters are influenced, guided, and warned through direct communication with their gods. No additional sources cited.
