Week in review and class Wed/Thurs

What we have done in the last week:
1. Read Beowulf - up to lines 2300 (for Tuesday 2/24)
2. Quizzes: Introduction and first 1900 lines.
3. Notes on Introduction to Anglo Saxon Britain
4. Notes and reading on Archetypal structure/characters
5. Notes on Epic structure, Epic style, Epic poetry, and Epic hero.


Due WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY (2/25, 2/26)

In your notes, you need to apply the elements of the epic structure/poetry/hero to Beowulf. You need to find specific examples in the text to support these archetypes. Remember, these structural techniques are your paths into analysis and looking deeper into textual meaning.
