Queen Wealhtheow and Queen Hygd served as excellent role models for the courts in which they served. They exemplified the mannerisms and etiquette of the noble people.

The offering of the bowl was symbolic, being that the bowl was first given to Hrothgar and then passed to Beowulf, as if she presented him with her trust. Beowulf gave Weal .....

.... the love of it” However the way that Holmes uses the word “profession” shows that he does not consider himself to be an amateur. Another convention of the detective story is that the detective will have a confidant through whom he can explain his reasoning to the reader.

.... in that they refer to a time that is different from ordinary time. The time sequence of myth takes place usually in; an other time, the time before the world came into being, long before there was man, or long ago in a far away galaxy.

Mike Tierce and John Michael Crafton suggest that Arnold Friend is not a diabolical figure, but instead a religious and cultural savior. On a more realistic note, Joyce M. Wegs argues the symbolism of Arnold Friend as a Satan figure when she writes: “Arnold is far more a grotesque portrait of a psychopathic killer masquerading as a teenager; he also has all the traditional, sinister traits of that arch deceiver and source of grotesque terror, the devil”(616).
